This is the last piece I have made. It is a small box made of walnut and maple. The joinery are secret mitre dovetails. The hardest thing was the dry fit because of the size (difficult to pull out the sides). I was funny to make it. I have som pictures of the process. Like always I used only handtools to make it. It has a small magnet to close it. French polish for the finshing. I hope you like it.

Great work! It’s a shame the thing isn’t see-thru so you can show off the best things about it. :-)
Thanks for sharing this.

Thanks a lot Robert, we also call the secret mitre dovetail, the “humility of the woodworker”, lots of work and you see nothing but a mitre.

Awesome use of the mitre dovetails! I’ve been practicing mine in hopes that I get them nice enough to begin using in my projects for that clean corner look. Very nice build!
