This was a project for valentines day. The box is made of walnut with maple splines, and the top is cherry. This design was kept basic due to my lack of experience with box making in general and it was a first attempt at spline joints. The finish was sparyed on, another first, semi gloss poly. Ohh yeah the tray inside is made of cherry as well. Overall I was pretty happy with the final product and so was my wife!

Nothing wrong with simple. First project or not. Good job.

For a basic box it came out excellent…and it is one really nice Valentines day gift…
I made my first basic box in 1959 and still had it until 2005…

Thank you for the compliments. The top is hinged I should have thought ahead but poor planning forced me to get cheap plated hinges from home depot :-#. Checking out this site every day has inspired and pushed me to try new and different techniques. Big thanks to everyone here.
