Curly Maple & Walnut Dovetailed Box

author-gravatar Sean Jul 16, 2018

Having some curly maple and walnut scrap in the shop after a few projects, I wanted to build a nice box to hold my shoe shine equipment in. The joinery method for the box is dovetails and I used brass dowel rod to pin the lid to the box. For the finish I wiped on a few coats of Osmo Polyx.

Oh, you know, it's just a little scrap wood project I put together.

It's just beautiful. I also kinda like the no talk video production too.

LOL I know, I know... Just a little bit of scrap curly maple just laying around!

Thanks Tim! I figured the talking videos take more time to produce and the ROI just wasn't there.
