My first box

By Antondeg, member Oct 24, 2010

This is my first box. After I built a sled for the tray I decided to make a box. I used basswood because I want to learn the different types of wood. The keys and top are red oak. I used the FWW “2 Fast ways to build a box” as a reference. It was an interesting experience and the tolerances levels are pretty small. That was difficult but it was fun.

It is finished with Danish Oil and rubbed out with wax.

This is absolutely gorgeous! Nicely done. I like your choice of color and detail. Simple but striking.

I first tried a lid in some ash but he grains clashed and I had a piece of red oak so I went with that.

Very solid work. Nice joinery! My first box wasn't nearly as nice.
