Chris was cleaning his room.. ya I was shocked too tough to get a teenager to do that. Anyway he came out and asked if I had an extra box in the shop to keep his wallet, keys and stuff in.

I didn’t have one kicking around, but I did have some leftover cutoffs from other projects , so I created this.

The top is made from white oak, the main box is walnut and the trim is done in brazilian cherry, it is then finished with 3 coats of BLO (boiled linseed oil) that has been diluted with paint thinner and then 3 coats of shellac were applied. It still needs a final buffing in a week or so, but overall I am quite happy with how it turned out.
