That top is some beautiful wood that is new to me.You’re hooked on the hinges, aren’t you? Tip: “streamline” them a bit and downsize them for a cleaner look. (not criticism,just a suggestion).What are the overall dimensions of this box?

Nice work.

It’s 12×4x4

My fingers get paranoid making too small of pieces.

-- Nature created it, I just assemble it.

So Monte, how bad does it smell, haha. Both the top and box show nice grain pattern. Good Choice. Is the lid hinged? Are those wood hinges or a natural part of the top?

-- Better woodworking through old hand tools.

Hey Monte, If the box smells really bad, shellac is great at covering up all odors.

Russian Olive smells bad when you’re cutting it. Not really on the finished product. I have a couple trunks I can cut into dimensional Lumber.

Very cool Monte, I love the way the top came out.

Nice box, the top really adds the character to it.
