    A highly figured apple wood box

    My wife had a cluttered stack of frequently used salts, peppers and seasonings by our range. I took an extended break from another project and decided this was perfect for some apple wood from our old beloved Gravenstein apple tree. When I had the wood milled I was very impressed with its color and grain but I never knew what to do with it or how it would be to work with this wood. I air-dried the wood and decided a small box would be a good test of the wood. I finished the wood with natural Danish oil so this is the natural color and grain.
    I made the bottom with a metal grill so debris would fall through the bottom and she could lift up the entire box to clean.

    Beautiful wood, Gary. Having the screen for the bottom for this use was a great idea. Well done.
