Beautiful build!
The woods are great together and the walnut hinge and panel for the lid are really set off by the butternut.
Very cool box.

What are the dimensions. Looks tallish? I think the widest Butternut I have ever seen was around 6” and usable after bark was gone was like 4” That looks like the Granddaddy of all Butternuts.
Like that hinge.

I believe the box is around a 5 inch cube. I was just working with what I had on hand and didn’t actually measure anything, per se. the original board was 8.5 inches wide.
Thanks on the hinge! It was a leftover from one of my other projects (crayon boxes). It definitely sets the box apart.

Thanks MrWolfe! The lid panel was an offcut from building my son’s crib a couple years ago. It was to short too plane down, but too pretty to throw out.

In pic 1 I first noticed your very good grain wrap,
in pic 2 it continued,
but it was the top-panel in pic 3 that blew me away !
Where does one get some of that black walnut ? and/or great job in trimming
whatever you started with, to a marvelous spiral or swirl picture.

Steve, check out this butternut table top. I’ve got more stock about that size, waiting on the right project.
