Spline joint box I made a couple of years ago with my table saw. I thought the combination of the two woods made it interesting. Cutting the small parts with the table saw was interesting and I am glad to sill have all my fingers. Next time I will build a small parts jig. Any suggestions.
The box is cut so the grain flows around the box in a continuous pattern. It is finished with Bees wax.
Enjoy. Boxes are easy and fun.

Extremely nice little box! If you cut out all those small parts on a table saw, you’re either braver or dumber than me. :-)

Beautiful! I like the woods you chose and the overall shape is nice. The legs are a nice touch too.

Nice job. The grain running round the wood is very good to look at.

The box is made of Paduk edging and Lacewood. The interesting part was that I considered this box unfinished for a year or so and never put any finish on the box, and the paduk faded to a reddish color. My mom visited and put some beezwax furniture polish on it.
Thanks to all for the replies, I never expected anyone would appreciate it. Cool.
