This is a gift for my wife and my first attempt at the box joint. The mulberry was a dark colored board but surprisingly light underneath its skin. Its nice to work with. Cuts clean and sands easy. The finish is Salad Bowl finish becuase its all I had at the time.

That beautiful darker color is what this will oxidise to over time. I just started using both Mulberry and Hedge (Osage Orange)this year and they both have that beautiful copper color on the wurface exposed to the air for a while. Both the yellow and the copper color are darker in the Hedge. Wish I'd started with them years ago. Both beautiful woods.
I've just recently completed repairs on two old but no necessarily antique piece for a customer. He tells me of a certain quantity of Mulberry wood in his posession so that made an interesting trade for my labor. No promises were made and none asked. If he is a man of his word, I well make him a box and one for myself as well. Thanks for showing me what it could look like.
