Here's a simple box I just finished. Cherry with dovetailed corners.
It turned out well but I regret using cheap hardware from Amazon,especially the stamped hinges.
Finish sequence:
That looks great. Excellent dovetails.
Looks great! The dovetails look really clean too. I'd probably line the inside with a nice red felt to dampen any noise when placing items, probably jewelry, into the box. And just for a extra bit of pizzazz. A wood burned makers mark or tidy initials somewhere would be a nice touch too, emphasize that "hey, a skilled person made this, this wasn't shot out of a mass factory"
Wonderful job, looks great! The best piece might be on the inside. It's got a great grain.
very nice!
