All maple wood and the hinges had to be home made for too lazy to go spend money when I'm fresh out…I'm still learning to carve but still don't use knives just grinders and mostly Dremels.I didn't draw out anything on paper and just used my weird mind which goes blank sometime but I have enough projects started so when that happens I can swap off on to something else. The french curve set and the scroll saw seems to be in every thing I build anymore and the lid handle happened to be two pieces of wood off of another scroll saw project and the two pieces were laying next to each other and hey if I glue them together they will be about the right length and size for the top of the box so I saved lots of thinking and drawing to come up with a handle. The way I built this thing in locking together pieces I could put it all together stand back and decide if every thing fit in looks before I had to assemble it to study the sizes….so I bet I will use this approach on most of the things I hope to build someday… I first use clear gloss lacquer for a few coats then the last coat way satin. This way the colors are still good and clear
