So it is that time of year and I finally got the urge to work in the shop again. Again building boxes for Christmas gifts.
I have been sitting on a small chunk of walnut forever and decided to resaw into veneers and book match for 3 of the box tops.
With first coat of varnish.

For the other 8 boxes I am using a short chunk of that heavily figured white oak that I bought last year. Again I resawed into veneers out of a 22" long piece.

And all of the sides/top and bottom pieces. Once the boxes are glued up I will cut the top from the bottom.
With first coat of varnish on the inside sides. Yes I will be using Domino's to align the corners. You can see the mortises.
