Made out of cedar and sycamore with walnut splines. The box measures 7’’ x 7’’ x 3’’ and the top is 8’’ x 8’’. Each side of the box is half of each wood and the sides are alternated. It turned out better than I had envisioned. This was also my first attempt at spline joints and although small, they went better than I expected. I left the inside unfinished until I get a sliding tray put in it but I was so happy with the way it turned out, I wanted to go ahead and post it. Hey at least it aint a spoon! LOL Thanks for the looks/comments.

It looks good and I’ll bet it smells good too! Love that quarter sawn sycamore on the lid borders.

cedar is so cool looking when it is kept “wet” looking with a finish. But it stops the awesome smell too
Will wood movement effect your box with outside being finished and inside not?

Nice looking box Jay. I’ve been thinking about picking up some sycamore, how is it to work with? This is a great example that not ever box needs a handle. That lid looks great.
