A few finish photos and a few build photos.  I didn't stop to take many build picks unfortunately.  

I got the QS beech online.  It's a lot softer than I was expecting which made working with handtools pretty easy.  I got the curves on the doors, for example, by just using a hand plane with a camber.

The back is strips of shopsawn veneer glued to ply.  

I cut the cocobolo pulls on the bandsaw then formed the curve with a spindle sander chucked into a drill press.  Made quick work of them, actually.  Glued in with epoxy and a small nail to act as a dowel.  I wound up adding another toothpick dowel because the pulls started to spin a little on the metal "dowels."  So, ultimately, I have the strength of metal but the glue bond of wood, albeit a toothpick, holding these guys on. 

This project marked my first hand-cut dovetails.  Here's my setup on the kitchen counter.  Drawer fronts are more of the beech; drawer sides are basswood.

Chop chop chop...

Not perfect but I'll take it for the first time out of the gate.

Bonus - Magnetic key holder!!  I buried three rare earth magnets into the side of the case so you can slap your keys on there.

Here's the cavity where I hogged out space for the magnets, epoxy'd them in, and covered with veneer.  Hidden by the drawer of course.  

Thanks for looking!!
