This is my newest pair of boxes – walnut w/padauk & jatoba w/ purpleheart. Box and tray bases are butternut. The rabbets are pinned with 1/8” brass dowel, as is the tray. The box top is meant to be lifted with the inlaid brass pull. All comments / questions / critiques are welcome. -- Dan Chiappetta, NYC, http://www.9x7woodworks.com | |||||||

A nice design and I love the combination of the dark wood and polished brass.
Well done

Haven’t seen brass and walnut together in a box, but you combined them very well!
How do you go about polishing the brass after it’s in the wood? Just normal sanding—or do you treat it differently?

Thanks, everyone.
Dean – The brass actually sands well. I even used a card scraper with pretty good results, though this definitely shortens time b/w sharpening/burnishing.

I wonder if a carbide scraper would stay sharp longer. Goox job BTW.
