Japanese inspired pencil box

This loooks just like a minature version of the Japanese Tool box shown in a 93 issue of American woodworker. Thiers was just pine tho, your wood choice adds a lot of character. Great piece!

Always nice to see a box ‘outside the box’, nice looking and a ‘first’ box to be proud of. You might want to consider giving it anti-growth hormones to prevent it from growing legs in the first 2 days of school.

Thanks. Well, its the thought that counts. she will probably loose it and at the age of 20 she will really be sorry for that…. anyway, it was a fun project to make.

-- The woods are lovely, dark and deep, but I have promises to keep...

A very cute box for the child.

Great little box. I am marking it as a favorite as I would like to do something similar for gifts (maybe for sale?) Thanks for the inspiration Moshel.

You are welcome. It can actually be “produced” in larger quantities quite easily, as most of the material is same width and thickness and the joinery is simple.
