Coffee Pour Over Box
Feb 27, 2017
Hand-made wooden coffee pour over I made. The only power tool I used was a Dremel to drill the holes for the coffee dripper. Other than that, it was all hand-sawn with my dozuki, planed with a block plane, chiselled and hand-sanded.
Made from some wood my mom was given. I still don’t know what kind of wood this is, but it’s definitely a very hard wood. Tended to crumble a bit when chiselling. If anyone has some insights into what it might be, please let me know.
Also, as I said this was only my second attempt at dovetails, and actually the first box I ever built. I know it’s not great but I am happy how it turned out and learned a lot! Hope you enjoy.

I like the way you made it to handle two different sized cups. The wood is pretty.
BTW, I love pour-over coffee!
The board in your last photo, on the right, looks very much like sapele with its alternating ribbon-like grain. Is it difficult to plane across the entire width? Do you get tear-out in the alternating grain? Sapele has color very similar to mahogany but the telltale characteristic is the alternating light and dark ribbon pattern. That would be my guess.
