This is a box that I built for my wife for her coloring pencils. Coloring books for adults are apparently a thing! I copied the design from Shannon Rogers on a podcast he did a month ago or so. The sides are curly maple and the lid is African mahogany. I did two coats of clear shellac and a coat of paste wax. This is the first time Ive posted work on here I think. I think I would do the box joinery differently next time as it came out less than impressive to my eyes. The thumb catch was done with a #3/5mm gouge. This is the only gouge I currently own and a wider more curved gouge would have made it easier. Still alot to learn with gouges!
Thanks for looking and feel free to offer any advice that might make my work better!
