Spalted and Figured Maple and Walnut Keepsake Box. The top features some highly spalted maple with some captivating blackline spalting.
I find that pictures just don't capture the real life appeal of my boxes so I shoot videos when I can. Please see video of this box here:

The joinery on this box is miters with Maple miter keys which have a dual purpose in adding both a decorative element as well as making the miter joint stronger.
The bottom of this box has a quality upholstered, velvet lining. My interiors are precision fit and installed.
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.
