this is my first box, and a (late) Mother's day present for my mother. It was quite a learning experience...especially in finishing. The box is all poplar and as you can see, I left the inside unstained. Also, i have not yet put the four small mitered pieces that will hold the glass in from the underside and cover up the bit of unfinished wood you can see in the 2nd picture...the shellac is curing on those as i write this. The box is finished with water-based "rosewood" stain, and clear shellac and paste wax -- smooth as glass!
