started this project last weekend. made one for the shop bathroom and one for the house bathroom. both have sides made from mohogany. one has a maple base with ambrosia maple top trimmed in walnut. the other has a walnut base with leopard wood top trimmed in walnut. both have maple splines. finish is one coat general finishes arm r seal to bring out the grain and 3 coats gloss lacquer. both have a rubber pad on the bottom. the mahogany was planed down to 1/4". here's a couple build pic's, i know many like to see em.

Great wood selection! I can't believe you knocked these out in just a few days, especially since you are also working that garden and tending to the meats!
Surprised to learn that these are for the house, seems you've made quite a few, finally time to outfit the castle 👍

On a serious note, I hate the large boxes as when the interweave cocks up as you're (I'm) reaching the bottom, it's a pita to fish out the loose end from the box itself... for large boxes promote that to a PITA... how does that solid fixed lidded hole fare up. That is why I leave my top open and stick to the smaller packs, Not pretty or as economical, but saves frustration.
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
For me it's the first tissue out, usually comes with 3 or 4 . The last one can be more than just frustrating. When a sneeze is coming on, reaching for the straggler usually ends up with a handful of sneeze juice and with the cats out of the house, no self cleaning "rags" handy.
It's just wrong I tell ya!
That has to be one of the best boxes I've seen Tony, you lucky snot! 🤠
Look great! But am I looking at both the top and bottom glued in place? Doesn't look like the case in the final picture, but does in the progress pictures (and that won't work to replace the box!).
