All from one piece of wood with some bloodwood accents. This is my first with a drawer. The hardest part about this box were the Soss barrel hinges. One was off by what I swear is 1mm and the lid would bind. I put in and forcefully ripped out two sets of hinges. Then I elongated one hole just a smidge and got it to work with a third set. I’m glad I got a bag of 24 for $50 instead of $7 each at a store.

That maple is gorgeous and is a great choice for this box.
Nice work on the interior and the bloodwood accents.

Truly a fine board to bake a box from, you got a nice piece built from that!
Water-based finish?

Thanks everyone.
Splinter, I used spray can lacquer. I’m a novice at finishing and it’s my least favorite thing to do. I do prefer oil based stuff in general as I’ve had issues with water based in the past. Or maybe I’m just not patient enough!

VERY nice box, inside and out. Great attention to detail and the wood is beautiful. I made several jewelry boxes for my granddaughters a few years ago with knock-off Soss barrel hinges. They were too stressful for me. I got them to work and they have held up ok, but that was the first and last time I will use them. You did a great job!

Very nicely done! Excellent choice of woods. Really like the lid handle and tray center piece a lot!
(might have to “benchmark” that one…)
