Two tone box

[Michael Stafford]

I was working on an end grain box and was in the process of fitting the lid and it split. So I had to salvage it some way.

I cut off the tenon for the lid and reshaped the box and after fiddling around with several different lid shapes here is what I came up with.

It is 2 3/8" in diameter and 2 5/8" tall in walnut and birdseye maple.

Thanks for your opinions...

Nice Save! Looks great!

Mike,

That looks really great! In the future you may want to purposely do the two tone look :)

I had the same thing happen to me with my first little box. I used Maple. Your Birdseye Maple is much better.

Very nice job.

Nice save - the lid looks right at home!

I don't see any problem at all. Looks how it is supposed to.

Good utilitarian box. Mike. I think even I could get the lid off easily. Love that bird's eye.

Don't you love it when a "save" looks like you planned it that way? :D
