Started woodworking when I retired and moved to NC in 2000. I am self-taught through books, videos and good advice from a couple of woodworking pro friends.

I build mostly contemporary tansu furniture, or furniture in other Asian-looking styles. Don't know why -- never been to Japan -- just like the "Asian" look a lot. Have recently begun building boxes as well to increase sales.

Small garage shop, and sales are either through a local gallery or commissions. Objective is not making a living -- it's building up and maintaining my tool collection. He who dies with the most tools wins.

Re: Sushi-4-2 Box

The box is solid wood. And finding out how well sapele and maple mix has led me to use that wood combination in several furniture pieces as well. No stain, just several coats of clear satin finish lacquer.
