This box is based on the tool box of a japanese carpenter I met once.  The dovetails are handcut.  Only hand tools were used in the construction of this box, except for rough dimensioning of the lumber.  The box measures 4"x3.75"x10".  The chip-carved symbol is the Kanji for Tea (ocha).  I made it to hold my herbal tea at work.  I particularly like this design because the lid is self wedging, allowing construction without hardware (nails, screws,hinges, etc.)
