This is a box design that I got from Wood Magazine.  It is made of Koa that we got on our trip to Kauai last year, and walnut.  The finish is tung oil and shellac.  I am giving it to my 12 year old daughter tomorrow for Christmas.

Do you know what issue of Wood the plan is in?

My daughter loved it - she actually teared up a bit when she opened it.
