Keepsake box

[bmac]

Decided to do some flatwork for a change. This is a box I made for my sons neighbor. He asked if I could make a box, something simple, for his girlfriend. I had this maple that a friend gave me lying around the shop so I decided to use it. I think if my friend knew the wood would clean up this good he wouldn’t have gotten rid of it. I sanded it to 600 and applied 3 coats of tung oil and then buffed it out with tripoli, white diamond and then carnauba wax. He was verry pleased with it.

Wow, that is something else. Simple, but elegant. Really like the wood. One of these days I am going to have to learn some flatwork. Just don't have the tools for it.

Nice work Bobby; that quilted maple looks fantastic. I like the shape on the lid too.
Good lines all around.

The wood grain is the true winner, though you can take the credit. Great job! What application did you use for attaching the sides to the back and front?
