Built three of these, one each for my wife, my mom and as a prize in a future Valentine Party. Plan on building more as they are quick and easy.

Nice work. Really like the banding. Is that mahogany?

Jeff,
Yes it is mahogany, 1/2 inch for the sides and 4/4 inch for the top. My favorite wood to work with. Finish is my old standby, Bartly Gel Varnish.
Purchased the inlay bands from WoodCraft.
Thanks for looking.

Jerry, I was thinking about making some tissue boxes just a couple days or so ago, so I'm likely to steal a few ideas from yours, too. It looks great with the banding, and I like the treatment around the top. Simple, clean, and nice.

OK Guys,
Thanks for all the nice comments. Sometime in January I will make some more and take some photos of each step and then post them. I have learned so much from everyone at SMC. Thanks again for all the information that is posted.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.

Great job as ususal Jerry. I'm sure your wife and mom will really enjoy them.

Merry Chritsmas to you although it doesn't look like it will be a white one for us. 67 degrees and sunshine just doesn't seem right on Christmas. Ah, the burdens of living in Florida. :D :cool: :D
