This was my first attempt at making a box. It was commissioned as a birthday present for a woman’s husband who played dominoes as well as cribbage and wanted storage space for them. The box is made of Tiger Maple and the cribbage pattern on top is inlaid with Pomele Sapele. The keys on the corners are Gabon Ebony. It measured 14” x 5” x 3” high. I’m particularly proud of this one because it is featured in the “Show Off” section of the May 2007 issue of Woodcraft magazine.

Congrats on the magazine submission!!
This is great. For me, I’d toss a deck of cards in there, some scrap paper and pencils and whatever else needed for a variety of card games!!
Excellent
