Since the spalted maple board had a live edge, I used my crosscut sled to square it up.

I then took both pieces to the table saw and cut them to width.

Over at the miter saw I stack both pieces at cut them to length at the same time.

At the router table I cut a 1/4" groove 1/8" deep for the box bottom.

With the sides ready, I use my marking gauge to scribe a line around all 4 sides of the maple boards for the dovetails. The marking gauge is set to 3/8" which is the thickness of the boards.

On the mahogany boards I only mark 2 sides, making sure to not mark the edges of the boards.

When I cut dovetails I like to cut both pieces at the same time. In this picture i'm using my combination square to layout the dovetails.

Using a dovetail marker, I draw the angles for the cut.

Next I use my pull saw to cut the tails.

Once the tails are cut, I put the board in the vise with the edges sticking up and cut the half pin.

To remove the waste between the dovetails, I use my bow saw.

I begin chiseling away the waste with my 1/4" chisel. I like to chisel half way down and then flip the board over to remove the rest of the waste.

This is with the board flipped over and removing the remainder of the waste.

Nice and clean.

Before I do any cutting of the pins, I like to lay the box out and put colored dots on each corner to help with the orientation. Each corner has the same color sticker.

With the board back in the vise, I make sure to have it flush with the hand plane.

I lay the tail board on top of my hand plane and with it flush with the pin board, I mark for the pins.

Using my combination square, I mark a straight line to use as a reference when I cut the pins.

Again using the pull saw, I make the cuts. I like to use the reflection in the saw to make sure i'm cutting square.

Back to the bow saw to remove the waste.

And then chisel half way down, flip the board over and remove the remainder of the waste.

Also nice and clean!

Before gluing the box up, I use my number 3 to smooth the boards while I have access to them.

Over at the miter saw I cut the bottom panel to size.

One little detail I need to cut before I glue the box up is a nice arch on the side pieces. This adds a nice touch to the box but is also a very useful feature for making it easier to access the chisels.

After marking the reference lines I use a paint can to get a nice pleasing curve.

With relief cuts made, I make the final cut, making sure to stay roughly 1/8" away from my line.  

I use the spindle sander to clean my cut up.

It's glue up time. I like to put the glue in the pin boards since I have more room to apply the glue.

Don't forget to glue the bottom panel in!

While the glue is drying, I cut the 3 dividers to size at the table saw.

I taped all 3 dividers together and once again, used the paint can to get the pleasing curve.

Back to the band saw to remove the waste.

And the spindle sander to clean it up!

You guessed it, I use the number 3 to clean the faces.

Since I can't use my plane to clean up the curve, I grab some 220 grit sandpaper.

With the box glued up, I use my block plane to flush everything up.

Then I use the block plane to chamfer the edges.

The dividers were just a tad too long so I used my number 3 as a shooting board plane to remove a little bit to get a snug fit.

Since I didn't want to wait for each divider to dry before adding the next one, I put a dot of CA glue on each end of the divider piece when gluing them in to get sort of an "instant" bond (well, about a minute to set up).

In between the CA glue dots I used hide glue in case I got squeeze out. It won't effect the finish.

I used a 1" spacer between each divider.

With all of the dividers in place, I do one more check to make sure they are spaced evenly.

For the finish I sprayed 2 coats of shellac from the can. In between each coat I sanded with 220 grit sandpaper.

The spalted maple popped when the shellac was applied. Thanks for checking the pictures out, if you want to see a video of me building the box, check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7l5RgJxY7c
