Attached is a 12" X 8" box I finished up a couple of weeks ago from a piece of maple I actually stumbled into from my local wood source. The board was an 8 footer and 7 inches wide, cost was $26.00 out the door. The box finish is a few coats of Zinnser shellac sealer and Briwax. The top is made from 1/2" material, wood is walnut and ambrosia maple, the splines are also walnut. I finished the top differently, I used Tried and True original finish which gives it a nice glow. Thanks for looking.
