Nice box,

Can I ask a quick question, I have tried to make a mitred box but had real problems with short grain on the inserts – any advice?

Thanks for posting

Cool looking little box. I like the banding.

Are you talking about the end grain on the keys? They will tend to chip, to avoid any problems I cut them a little big and then after the glue dried I used a block plane to get them flush before sanding. Using the plane I didn’t have any problem with the end grain on the keys.

Hope that helps, if anyone else has any other suggestions feel free to give em.

Beautiful box. I like your choice of contrasting woods. Thank you for sharing.

-- Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work for the rabbit.

This is a beautiful box. The maple banding and keys make a nice contrast.

Thanks for the post.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

You have made a nice box. I like the contrasts also. The splined miters reminded me of an native indian look I saw in montana once (a hide lamp shade stitched up with contrasting strips) Nice job.

This is a great box. Those miters came out just fine. Those “stripes” across the top and bottom add a lot of visual interest. Nice job.

Thats a nice box.

I like your box – the contrasting woods are really nice.

Nice box, the miter cuts really go well with the overall project, that light color is a nice contrast. mike
