Here is one of my recent boxes. I made this for the wife of my nephew this past christmas. The medallion is curly bubinga and curly maple. The box is from a crate that was used for shipping a piece of machinery from germany. A friend gave me four pieces 3” x 9” x 76”. I think it is German oak. The finger pull is brazilian rosewood.

The top really gets your attention. This is a really nice box. And it is basically made from scrap materials!!!!
Vince, you did a really good job on this box. I am sure it was well received.
Thanks for the post.

This is really nice. I like the top a lot. Interesting story about the shipping crate, it always adds to a project when the wood itself has an interesting story.

OK, that is really cool. You did a fantastic job on craftsmanship. It’s pretty cool to think that 3-4 of those woods “grew up” in different countries, and came together under your creative ability to make something that fine.

Outstanding box! The top really makes the whole project. The coverings on the interior compartments add a lot of richness to the whole box. Bet she really liked it
