Olive wood salt box

Really nice box Maria. Really nice how the grain lines up.

Thanks everyone,
This was a challenge to line up the grain, even with the thin kerf produced by the bandsaw, as opposed to a parting tool. Jon, I actually had to redo the pivot hole, the first one put the lid off edge. Had better luck with the second. Lori, on this box I just used a nail with the head sawed off. On previous ones I've used brass rod, but I ran out and was in a hurry. I only glued the pivot to the bottom half.
Thanks for looking!

Beautiful piece, great job getting things lined up. This is yet another item I'd like to try making.
