Mahogany and Padouk Box

An asymmetrical box I made as a gift out of some left over Mahogany and Padouk. The Mahogany sides have mitered corners with splines. The lid is Mahogany with a Padouk handle. The coolest part of this box is the Padouk boarder around the bottom. Due to the odd shape this was made completely by hand. The trick was to get a tight fit between the several pieces joined together. It is finished with Minwax Tung Oil. It is being used as a bread box.
