I like that a lot. Please share more details about how you got the four corners of the lid to wrap around the inlay piece so well.

Thanks to all that have been so kind with your comments.

CiscoKid, there really isn’t any secret here… I had a piece of burl that really was unusable for anything else and had been holding on to it for a couple of years. I decided to make a box and when I got to the top I knew I wanted something a little different. I cut the burl from the odd shape that it was into a perfect rectangle, salvaging all of it that I could. The secret if any is to make all the corners square. Then it wasn’t any trick to make the 45° cuts on the table saw for the Black Walnut outside pieces. Hope this helps you understand how I did it, if not send me a PM…

Hey Chuck,
Zowie, that walnut just pops. Good combo with the oak too.

No secret, not trick, just do it perfect the first time – easy to say. Looks like you got it spot on.

Well done,
Steve

Great looking box. Nice way to get back into iy.

Hi Chuck, Beautiful box, love the wood. I’m planning to make a box for my daughter for her wedding in June to receive cards. You’ve given me a little inspiration. I have some heritage wood that I have been saving for something special and this is a pretty special event. So you were in Florida and didn’t come by to visit me? Maybe next year.

Mighty classy looking piece there Chuck!
I really like the way you worked those beautiful tones of brown together.
Nice job !

Those people that hate oak will have a whole new perspective now! That white Oak burl is the coolest I have ever seen and the qs red oak is beautiful as is the curly walnut. I imagine that pictures can’t do it justice. Great job and thanks for sharing it with us.
