here's a little box I threw together on short notice.
On tuesday last, I was invited to a graduation party for Sunday (yest)
Since I had a couple other jobs going on, I had to work fast, and still do a nice job.
I had some left over Mahogany and Bird's eye so I used those two woods. The carcass is jsut mitered, with dados for the bottom and top.
The inlay is from Rockler's, the fit was so precise, that i didn't even glue it! when I put it in for a test fit, i couldn't get it out !!! hope it stays in!
One coat of Watco, then a couple coats of DEFT spray on, then a coat of wax.
Didn't take too long, but did come out very nice. Heck, my wife even liked it more than most of the ones I spend weeks on !!
comments and criticism are welcomed
