This box is finally of my bench and on my dresser after a couple of month of looking at it and figuring out what it wanted to be . it started out with a deco design in mind but I just couldn’t make it work in this configuration so I just let it sit there .
It is made from a nicely figured piece of jatoba for the lid panel that caught my eye and tamarac which is a local wood that I just love .
As you can see from the picture it has several compartments and trays that should make it possible to store just about anything in this .
The interior is lined with a dark brown material and the tray lifts are a black cord .
Dim.are 16’W x10”D x5”H
The finish is BLO and a coat of bees wax to give it that beautiful smell .
Comments good or bad are always welcome .

Very, very nice Klaus! I really like this one a lot. The oriental influence is especially effective and well designed. The choice of woods works here in a completely complementary way. The inside, and removable central tray are delightful. My compliments.

The only bad comment I have to say about it is that it’s bad to the bone :) Nicely done Klaus

Real nice. I like it a lot. You can see both the skill it took to build and design. Time well spent.

Klaus,
It is great, and better than Deco ( and I like the intricacies of Deco). It’s Kiefer! LOL! Love the movement in the horizontal planes, and that it floats gently!
Looks like your box jig is becoming an everyday tool?

Klaus,
I really like the light feeling this box has. The lines just flow. The wood tones just flow. The accent pieces blend and pop. Very impressive. Thanks for sharing. ... and I too really enjoy Jatoba.
