Trying to expand my skills a little with the basic tools I have, and some poor eyesight to challenge me a little more, I came up with this hex-box idea inspired by others I have seen. At first glance this looks decent, but....I used 5 minute epoxy to attach the bottom plate onto this box and taped it in place while the epoxy set. That was a rookie mistake, as the glue keeps shifting as it cures. The bottom plate is crooked due to that fact! I would rather not use screws or nails if I can help it. Perhaps a small brad or two next try. The wood is Maple and Padauk, teak under lid with some type of Malysian Mahogany top and bottom. Coating is Teak oil outside and Butcher Block Food Safe inside the box, for Tea, Etc.. dimensions: 7.5" high X6" wide. Inside measures 5" wide by 6" deep.
