So here is the other project that I made for my dad. Obviously it is not a big as my mom's ring box buy I really love how it came together. Especially considering how much time I had to complete it. I started it on Wednesday morning and got the main part of the box cut out then had to leave it until Thursday afternoon. Worked on it till late Friday night and got back to it late Saturday afternoon then finished it up about 1am Saturday night. I had to dig through all of my Walnut to get the pieces that I wanted. Measures about 12 1/2” tall by 6 1/2” wide by 5 1/2” deep. I finished this one totally with hand planes and tools. Didn't use sandpaper on this one. Kind of impressed myself. My dad was super surprised. He knew about the one for our mother. He had his on his night stand that night and was using already before we left the next day. He really loved it. Of course he loves Walnut too. I'm glad I was able to get it finished up in time.
