This box is Zebra wood and ebonized Black Walnut.
The Zebra wood was in two long narrow strips about 1¼ x 2½ x 30 inches. I cut and re-glued it into a blank that I band sawed and sanded it into this shape. Next I cut and ebonized the Black Walnut ends(iron oxide from vinegar and steel wool). The lining is adhesive back black velvet. It is finished with rattle can lacquer.
With some of the left over’s I made a matching pen (no pic).
Critique if you want after 30 years of ww I’ve made plenty of mistakes.
