This wasn’t done with the EZ Mitre method. One of the reasons I make the smaller items is to improve my techniques. Small items really show the imperfections. So you have to get very good at finishing. That being said, I didn’t do very well on my finishing on this. I believe I have learned from it though.
This box is Ash with Danish oil Black Walnut stain. I didn’t put a lift on it yet. Still thinking.
I didn’t post my first mitered box. Sadly it was caught in a large fire & burned unrecognizable :-)
Thanks for looking

Monte, this is a nice, clean, solid box. The ash and that stain look really nice.

Nice is the word to use to describe this box. I don’t use stains, but here it does make the ash grain stand out. I like the clean lines of the top edges.

The stain worked good on that ash. I’ve never had any ash so don’t know what it’s like to work with but your miters came out tight and you got the lid cut off cleanly (always a challenge for me). Nice job using native SD wood.
