I used walnut for the box and handcut dovetails for the joinery. I had triangular offcuts that I glued together to make the lid.
I made this a few years ago so I can’t remember if I used handtools or a table saw to dimension the wood.
The finish is pure Tung Oil.
Thanks for reading!
Was there a plan for how you laid out the top pieces? I like it. I’m an asymmetrical, kinda guy.

Excellent work, friend! The micro bevels and the dovetails really take this box from good to great. I really dig that funky lid too, thanks for sharing!

Wow, that looks fantastic! I like the light/dark pattern, almost like piano keys.
Also, I didn’t immediately see which community this post was from, and for a second or two I thought it was a little piece of cake from one of the foodie comms. It does look delicious…

I can think of worse cake flavors than walnut and maple.
Lovely! Does the top just slot into the body?
