Spalted maple for Lid, Macassar Ebony for Base/secret drawer, Mexican Rosewood for body and top handles.

This is my first box and I hope to get to the level of being able to build my own designs.

This is a very nice looking box. If this is really your first box, hats off! You made a great job. Your choice of woods is very efficient and attractive. Doug Stowe is a talented woodworker and a great teacher too. I own couple of his books and I watch is DVD on building boxes often. He is very relaxing to watch.

Thanks for sharing your good work.

Best,

Serge
