    Horrible box but great wood. Just kidding. Excellent stuff though, the quilting looks three dimensional and a good finishing job too boot.

    RE: cocobolo/maple box

    What kind of finish did you use on that box? I am building a phone table with curly maple and want to make sure the grain pops just like on your box. Any info would be appreciated!

    thanks

    very nice! could you take a pic with it open so we can see how you hinged it and how you finished the inside.

    RE: cocobolo/maple box

    I gotta say the other fella got the best of you on that deal. Beautiful box like that for a ratty old tablesaw.

    Bet there was just a wee bit more to that finish than a few coats of lacquer, like maybe some intensive rubbing with itty bitty abrasives.

    Very nice,and a great choice of woods.
