Today I took a piece of mahogany that I picked up 6 years ago ........this was a laminated piece out of boards [I think they were cutoffs from a furniture factory that made bed posts] I have been wanting to do something useful with this for a while, and this box series I am doing seemed a good place for this piece of scrap.
I originally was going to do a flat box, but with the discovery of a box elder burl I forgot I had stashed away, I decided to make a similar one to the spalted maple/walnut that I made a few days ago........I think the proportions on this lid are better.......see what you think! It is 4-5/16 wide at the base and 4.25 tall.
I think the box elder burl lid is nicer than the walnut lid, and the contrast is good with the lighter lid and darker box on this one.
