I love how this little box came out. The top is Maple with quilting figure which I paired with Cherry sides with similar figuring and thus creating a harmonious pairing of materials. They also pair well in coloring featuring a variety of "peachy" hues throughout. If you like the pictures, you need to see the video of this one to see this impressive figure show off it's 3-D depth in real light.
Nothing better shows the quality of work and finish on a box than video so I take quick videos when I can. Please see video of this box here:

The joinery on this box is miters with Walnut miter keys which have a dual purpose in adding both a decorative element as well as making the miter joint stronger.
I lined this box with a premium designer embossed leather by Garrett leather.
This box is a match to this box which is lined in velvet: https://www.etsy.com/listing/151408047/quilted-maple-and-cherry-box-9-x-55-x-3 . The pair would make a fine couple's set.
I make boxes in all sizes to offer my customers a wide away of choices. This little box is a smaller, low-profile box made to hold a few of your most precious keepsakes/pieces of jewelery. Please see the dimensions to make sure it suits your needs.
Finished with a variety of products to enhance the grain as well as provide a high-gloss appearance. Finishing is the most variable and potentially complex part of woodworking. I easily spend the majority of time in my builds in finishing. Many stages... many products are involved in order to achieve what you see in my final products.
Exterior Dimensions: 9" x 5.5" x 3"
Interior Dimensions: 8.5" x 5" x 2"
Depth of Bottom Portion of Box: 1.25″
