When Craftisian was on the Fritz for several days, this little Box was finished, but I was unable to post it...
I had a desire to make a tiny box for a change... A small piece of Mahogany became the sides, while some thin Poplar found a use as top and bottom panels... Because it was so small, no hinges or handle were necessary, it is a simple lift-off lid... A liner was created to index the lid to the box... This was made simply by drilling a series of holes in a scrap of 2 by... After the piece was trimmed to the correct height to fit inside the box, the piece was cut along the holes to produce the decorative stock... Though decorative, the 'wrinkles' also eliminate any suction that might develop when removing the lid...
Final dimensions : 5 1/2" x 4 1/2" x 3 3/4"... No set purpose for this one, just made for the enjoyment of the process... Thanks for your time!

Thank You Everybody! I had in mind to make something even smaller than this, but the scrap size dictates the finished size... I didn't want to cut the mahogany smaller and end up with even smaller scraps! In person, the Mahogany has some nice chatoyance going on, I was happy to be able to use it... Now, if a use can be found for all of these boxes???

Thanks Steve, Gary, and Tom! Tom : An addiction for sure, but one of the only addictions with no known detrimental side effects! The best part to me is how little materials are needed to create one
