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?

Thank you. Yes it is. I apply the velvet to poster board and cut to a friction fit

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

A great box, the finger joints are wonderful contrast in the construction. Well done.

I'm liking this box! Interesting laminations, I've never done it that way.

Thank you everyone! Yes I laminate the woods together first, then do the joinery
