Project Information
Curly maple with cherry bottom and lip. Purpleheart splines.
Tung oil finish.
End of board scraps I milled down, not all from same lumber but I managed to fiddle them around so they look pretty linear.
Purpleheart was also scrap and I had just barely enough to finish the splines.
Had so many positive remarks on my walnut box I had to make a few more.
I built a 45 degree jig and a spline jig based on Boxguy's tutorials.
My spline jig.
I figured out a few new tricks for myself on this build like drilling a hole in the mitered slot for the lip so I knew for sure where to split it… after missing and nearly cutting a lid flush on the slot.
Thanks for looking!
