Hi, all -
Finished this little box recently. QS sycamore, lap joint corners. The staggered joints make for a fun glue-up. Sides faired with a Stanley #18. The 1/8" walnut dowel pins were shop made (by my daughter). Finish is about 30 coats of paste finishing wax; the interior was left raw. Handle and bottom are walnut. Finished size is around 3" x 8" x about 2-3/4" high.

I've made several of these years ago, all cherry. The sycamore was not well behaved, and was frustrating to plane. But I'm happy with how it turned out. I think this is the first project I've ever made that had no pre-determined purpose. Not sure what I'm going to do with it now, but it was fun to make.
Thanks for looking.
Scott
