I purchased a board from West Penn Lumber in Conover, NC several years ago. Don't remember the species. It looks like pink ivory, but not positive.

I made an 8-sided box that about 5" tall. The 8-strips are about 2 1/4" wide. The finish is Zar oil-base polyurethane that I dilute 50/50 with mineral spirts.

There is probably enough of the wood left to make one more box. I have shown it to 4-people and all would like to have one. I told them my granddaughter gets first choice. Ha!

Also I'm including two picture of boxes that I made several weeks ago out of ambrosia maple and tiger maple. Some of the boxes have bubinga on the tops. I may have already shown you guys these.

I put maple splines in the eight corners. I use a bird-mouth bit to help make the joints.

Otis, I don't think you need any more cookies! Remember, I also make funeral urns. That way I'd get you coming or going. Ha!

I tell my daughter if she wants anything made of wood I would make her one. If my granddaughter wanted anything made, I'd make her 10.
