In this video I show you how to make a simple yet elegant lift lid box. These little boxes can be made with with different woods to give them their own character, and due to the simplicity they can be made in batches.. They make a great gift to give someone. The boxes in the videos are made from Spalted Pecan, White Oak, & Mahogany. Each Box was finished with 2 coats of Danish Oil to bring out the natural beauty and color of the woods.

It would make aligning the jig for recutting the recess less of a nightmare. But it looked fine.
The handle is a piece of cut off from the Maple medallion. I simply slotted a mortise in it and the lid ...
