Box #2

This one was a lot more difficult technically. I derived inspiration for this box from a design I saw in a book. Sides and the tab on the front are made from birds eye maple and slanted on the outer surface. Rest of the box is made with Lacewood, a beautifully figured wood from Australia. Since birds eye maple is a lot denser than Lacewood, sanding this box was quite a challenge. It is finished with oil followed by wax.
