I had a small bit of unusual colored pecan and some small walnut pieces so glued them up and made my second EZ mitre box. Spalted white oak handle was a cut of from the feet on another box. These are not the best pics I have ever taken and they make the Shipwright hinge look huge. It is only 3/8” thick. Dimensions: 12×7x4 1/2”. Walnut ‘lipping’. Finish is shellac and wax. The coolest thing about this box is it is nearly airtight. I’m thinking about running the grain in the other direction in my next EZ Mitre box so I can wrap the grain across the top and down the front and back.

This is awesome! I really like your idea of running the grain the other way! You should try it!

That’s a really cool box! I also like the wooden hinge. You guys keep dangling new challenges out there for me to try. Good work!

Good work Andy! Another masterpiece.
I’ve got another EZ Mitre box in the works and it’s becoming a lesson in how it’s important to PAY ATTENTION!! I’ve been distracted lately and the workshop projects are paying the price.

Andy,
You have probably used it before, but I just haven’t noticed the dado on the inside that you fill with a lip to make the seal you are talking about. I like the contrast that the lip creates when you open the box. I take it that the dado is cut with a router?
Why stop with a 90 degree turn…why not a 45 degree stripe? Or a chevron?

Elegant appearance, and looks simpler than it is. Nice wood choices. Nice hinge. Nice interior.
