Walnut and Maple Keepsake Box
Here’s another keepsake box. This one is made from solid walnut and curly maple, and a veneered maple panel for the box bottom. The laminated construction does give the box joints a unique look and gives a little something extra in contrast. Lined in ruby red velvet and finished in satin lacquer.
Measure "at least" twice and cut once

The curly maple and walnut “sandwich” is outstanding. Another lovely box!
Is the velvet lining removable?

I'm assuming you laminated the maple to the walnut then cut you box joints?
Fantastic effect, has a neo-modern look. Well done!
