End Grain Box

[scmhogg]

A version of this box was in Wood Magazine #155, in May 2004. It's a great use for your tiny cut-offs.

My box is 5 1/2" X 8 3/4". The top consists of Red Oak, Cherry, Birdseye Maple, Walnut and Zebrawood. The box is ebonized Red Oak lined with black felt. The solid brass hinges and feet come from Rockler.

Looks great! I really like it. I guess one can make that box while making the end-grain cutting board that's so popular last Christmas, too.

[crokett]

Awesome! That is yet another idea for me for a Christmas gift.

[Otter]

That is BEE-U-TEE-FULL

[Pappy]

That end grain top is fantastic!

[linear]

That looks first class! How many hours do you think it took, Steve?

[warrenp]

That is a cool box...nice work!

[T-Bone]

That looks sharp. I like how the finish is glassy smooth to show off all the different end grains. How did you finish it?

[SHADOWFOX]

Way too cool, Steve! Great job!

[TheRic]

Great job!!

So did you cut all the pieces to the same size then glue them, or glue them then somehow cut it down to size?

[ChrisD]

Steve, for some reason that top makes me want to reach for the See's candy jar. Now, that's what I call SWEET!

Nice job!

Now that's just cool. Pat
