Project Information

Making a box is not as easy as it sounds. The work that is done on this website with regard to gift boxes is amazing. This box is made from bubinga and curly maple. it is a simple box design. I think I would like to improve on this the next time with some of the different techniques available. But this will have to do for now. I made it for a friend and he was happy with it. Thanks for looking.

If this is your first attempt I can't wait to see what is coming up next! Great job. What woods did you use? Watch out…box making can become addictive.

Great box especially for a first attempt! You accomplished something in your first attempt that I haven't figured out how to do yet - cut off the lid at an angle.

Very nice job!

This first box just shows you have nice woodworking skills allready. I can see you did a good job on the hinges, those edges look nice and tight.

Best,

This is a nice looking box. The angled lid adds a nice touch to the box's design. Good choice of woods as well that compliment one another well.

Nice job.
