A good friend had me make her husband a box in which to keep the stuff we all leave on our dresser at night. I coppied a basic box I made at American Sycamore WW Retreat some time ago. It was a Frank Klausz Hand cut Dovetail class. It is made from Mahogany with dovetail corners (yes Frank I hand cut them). I added some little feet to get it up off it's bottom.
Sorry about the Pic size/orientation. My Photoshop is on the fritz so these are straight off the camera.
I added a little removable tray with pool table green felt in the bottom of the tray and box:
The solid brass hinges stop at about 95 degrees of opening and the lock is a Brusso brass half mortice with key hole plate from rockler.
The finish is waterlox, 4 coats, buffed out and waxed.
I hope he likes it!!
Thanks for lookiing!
