Nogal and White Oak Keepsake Boxes
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)
Made a couple gift boxes for my best friend's and her daughter's birthdays. Boxes are made from Nogal (Peruvian walnut) and white oak. The lids have some incredible figure that I book matched. The smaller one had some bark occlusions that fell out when resawed it to create the book match. So I filled it with a little colored epoxy. The trays have a piston fit and take about 3 seconds to settle to the bottom of the box. The large box is 7” x 11.5” x 5” and the small one is 5' x 8” x 3”. Finished with a couple coats of Maker Brand Simple Finish (Oil wax blend).
