I made this box as a gift for my mother.  It will be used to package a Sake set, but after that she can use it for whatever she likes.  Lacewood sides, birds eye maple for the top (and keys and lid stays) and maple ply for the bottom.  Although "my own" design, I'm sure the Doug Stowe influence is obvious to everyone :).  I thought the dark patches in the maple would add interest to the lid, but next time I think I'll stick to more pure maple to contrast the colours between the sides and the top.


Design or Plan used: My own design

A very nice gift for your mother. The choice of wood is unique and the joinery is good. What are the dimensions?
