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. :-)

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.
