It has been a while since I posted anything here and I bet you can't guess what I am going to show you a picture of....a box....Surprise, surprise.
A friend on another forum hinted around that he wanted a box of this style out of bocote. I told him I did not have any bocote that was free of end grain checks. So he sent me a nice stick of bocote, some koa, some madrone burl and some curly walnut all appropriately sized for boxes.
Here is a clam shell box in bocote 1 3/4" tall and 3" in diameter.
