This is a beautiful piece…; if I had the shop-time, I'd consider stealing the concept here, and building one for my daughter. This is just beautiful….

Can you provide some finishing details???

Thanks, I don't get a lot of shop time either so these small projects work for me. The finish starts with a seal coat of supper blonde dewaxed shelllac. Allow to dry fully then buff out with 0000 steel wool. Then a couple coats of an oil and polly mixture. Equal parts of pure tongue oil, boiled linseed oil and oil based polyurethane.

That's a nice looking box.
Good job on all the joints and edges,
I know how easily Wenge splinters, and I can't see a one.

Ok, I can see the legs on this one better. Thats a different attachment. It looks like you had a spline jig sideways.

Nice work, thanks for posting.

Super nice box. Love that combination of woods, and the quilting on the maple really shines through with that finish

This is a very nice looking box, as is the paduak version you posted also. The legs look challenging!! Can you provide more detail about how you attached them? Your combinations of wood are really beautiful!

I cut the reliefs for the feet on each mitered end on the table saw before glue up

I posted a few details in a comment here and more on the padauk box. The feet are time consuming but not too difficult. The wenge feet gave me some trouble as the wood likes to splinter and small parts can easily break.

Wow… I love the light/dark juxtaposition of the top and box.

This is a really nice piece! The contrasting wood makes it beautiful. Just a unique project. Thanks for sharing.
