Box 23
This is my remake of Matt's box 23.

Here's a strip of wood that I cut off a rotten piece of mahogany.

I scribe lines for the rabbets.

I cut the rabbets.

I cut the miters in a miter box

The mitered edge is shot in a long edge miter shooting board. But I forgot to take a picture.

I tape up the sides to help glue up.

I just made Mike Pekovich's shooting board. Here I am setting it up to fit the lid and bottom of the box.

The top and bottom are soft maple.

The little end grain shavings.

I didn't turn the lid pull, since I don't have a lathe. I cut an elongated diamond shape and smoothed it out with sandpaper. The pull is made from poplar. The pull attached with a through tenon, which you can see sticking out the bottom. The tenon trimmed flush.

Lightly sanded.

Finished it with some shellac.
