Drawer box

Beautiful box, both the design and the wood.

Nice design, and that’s why I tend not to throw warped lumber away. It usually has something like the chatoyance or crazy grain to make up for not being straight. Good job finding a use for it!

I would love to see that wood figure in real life, beautiful.

Brian, The top is fantastic. The walnut accents highlight an outstanding disign – once again, more features than most boxes deserve
Great Job

Clever way to transform disfigured wood into a highly figured masterpiece. Bravo!

Excellent work on the top of the box Brian. Great design all around and a perfect way to show all wood is good wood.

Despite my aversion to all things that require such consideration, basically because I am, and have always been hopelessly inept at such things…I love your box WW! The wood of course…is beautiful, but I also like the description of your thought process while making it. And truth…I’m a sucker for magnets. You really had me at magnets,

Lovely work…and exceptionally interesting post. A new word for the day for me too…“chatoyance.” Nice!
Thanks for posting! ; )

You have a true hoarders heart Brian, I would have had that poplar burned within a week 8^)

It wouldn’t matter what type of wood that was, the grain and ripples make it worthy. I like the way you divided the top and placed in those whatchamacallits to break up any squareness.

Cool idea with the hollow base but chances are unless you tell any future owner about it, they’ll never find it!

very cool box and that top is outstanding,wow that would have been a crime to burn.ive always found the worse the wood looks the better it comes out in the finish,this proves that.nice work again brian.

LOVELY box Brian! That is the nicest poplar I think I’ve laid eyes on :-) The secret compartment is a nice touch too. Great design and wood selections. The bookmarked poplar on the top split by the curvy walnut frame gives a bunch of straight lines a very relaxed visual appeal.

Stunning!

Wildwood,

That is some wild wood! I also like the design, how you did the top is really cool!

Beautiful bookmatching on the lid!
Very cool design and the secret compartment is great.

Another beauty. I’m waiting for you to post something made from a 2×4 and duct tape.

Is that the Wenge that had the white spots?
