Mini Box – Brazilian Rosewood and Maple. Every year, a good buddy gives me a small piece of wood for my birthday…....this one was 4×24 x 1/4 inch thick Brazilian Rosewood. Now, I don’t like to waste a nice stick, so I tried to see how economical I could be…..I used just a bit over one half of it, in combination with some nice curly maple….thanks Wilson.
The box is small, 5×3.5 inches, with hybrid half-lap corner joints, and the lid is hinged with hidden pins. The bottom is lined with black suede, and it is finished with satin poly.

i’m incredibly jealous you got to use brazialian rosewood. I’ve been dying to make a guitar with it for years. i just can’t afford to pay $1000K + for just the tonewood alone
