The tray has matching keyed mitered corners using contrasting maple.

Walnut box has a zebrawood top and maple accents. Measures approx. 17x9x6.75

Detail of the keyed corners. Thanks to Doug Stowe for his great books and the video workshops on FWW.

I made this box as a donation to a local organization's charity auction. I wanted to see how large a box I could make using my small shop and Doug Stowe's guidance about boxmaking techniques. The tray was actually an afterthought but in fact I think makes the completed box work well. Zebrawood is challenging - it is waxy with confused grain; tears out like crazy.
