This is my first box. After I built a sled for the tray I decided to make a box. I used basswood because I want to learn the different types of wood. The keys and top are red oak. I used the FWW "2 Fast ways to build a box" as a reference. It was an interesting experience and the tolerances levels are pretty small. That was difficult but it was fun.

It is finished with Danish Oil and rubbed out with wax.
