Project Information
I made this box because I wanted to build a wooden hinge. So after searching around I found a U-tube video showing how to make one using a router and scrollsaw (actually fairly easy). The video also showed a box using a birds-mouth router bit, I had one of those bits in my collection of bits and I always wondered what is was used for, now I know. I used the birds-mouth bit to make the sides using Padauk and Walnut, the top is veneered birds-eye maple top and bottom and the hinge and clasp is maple. Finished with shellac then several coats of gloss lacquer.
