Box #3

This box is made with Lacewood and the sliding top is made with pine with Lacewood end. Top surface has mahogany veneer on it. Box is finished with oil followed by wax.

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.
