A Small Box

This box was for me. I use Breath Right strips and have never liked the cardboard boxes in my bathroom cabinet. Besides being too light to stay put, they were just ugly. Here is a box I made from spalted maple I had in the shop. I squared up the wood and cut 3/16" off the bottom, then cut out the center of the remainder on my scroll saw. The scroll saw did not like the thicker maple for this job, but with patience it worked. I used a file to clean up the inside cuts and assembled the box with wood glue. The outside was sanded only to 180 grit, then finished with a walnut oil and shellac combination.

This box is about 2.5" tall.  No I never pulled out a ruler to do this project.

Enjoy, but be careful of the splinters.
