This is a small box I made last month with some Alder scraps I had on hand. The top has a fan carving and the pull is carved into a fan shape. All the carving was done with bench chisels. The jointing and planing was done with hand tools except the resawing witch was done on the bandsaw, the wood is ~5/16” thick, the box joints were hand cut with saw and chisels. The interior is covered with SuedeTex and it has a small lift-out tray. The hinges are also made out of the same Alder as the box. Thanks for looking.
