Here we got a birthday box i made for my doughters fith birthday to put all the trinkets and jewlery she gets and has gotten over the short years i say that cuz it went by so fast but it was and still is great being a dad this is the second the first was just one she can play with no big deal just pine and 1/8” hardboard this one here is made from more wood from pallets at my job hey as u can see the wood comes out real nice after u mill it and put a finnish on it also added some gaboon ebony as a contrasting wood the bottom is ply with a piece of veneer dont know the type though it looks great on the box top is also another wood type unknown.

That wood cleaned up very nicely! I really like the way you did the splines, not just the contrast, but also the angles and different lengths. Well done, I’m sure she loves it.

Nice job Ike, your work is very good, your design and construction looks great, I like the way you have the lid sit in the box, and your keys are set in just the right spot. I use a lot of pallet wood as well, and the identification is a real hassle, those pallets don’t have any choice and it’s up to us to get them where they truly belong, you are doing a great job of that, thanks for sharing
