I've recently been making boxes and decided I wanted to do one that incorporated Greene & Greene elements. The primary wood used is Mesquite with Ebony hinges and accents. the box bottom is Aromatic Cedar.

The Ebony plugs actually hide screws that are used in conjunction with glue for the box joints. I marked the locations for the plugs, used my benchtop mortiser with a 5/16" square chisel and bit to cut a shallow mortise and then drilled a counter-sunk thru hole for the screws.
