Spalted? Curly Maple Box

Jacob, beautiful wood and excellent craftsmanship. The Purpleheart splines really pop. I like the idea of varying the sizes of your splines. Drilling a hole sounds like a great way to locate where to cut. Nice use of photographic techniques. Looks like it is time for you to take a shot at hinges. Thanks for the links and the mention in your write-up. That was nice and I am sure you put your own twists into making your jigs. Keep boxing and keep posting.

Very nice maple box Jacob.

I agree with the different size splines look good. That is great looking wood. Well done.

Very well done, and the spacing of your splines is perfect !

-- I'm absolutely positive that I couldn't be more uncertain!

Very Nice Jacob, I like the design and the layout, Is the box small enough that you can stretch fingers across the lid to lift off? Did you rabbit the inside for the lid lip? Thanks

Thanks for the comments!
Blackie, its around 4.75 inches wide, small enough for my hands lol … I spent alot of time trying to get the “perfect” friction fit so it wont fall off but you don’t need to work at it.
I used a dado to cut the groove for the lid/lip prior to assembly.
