I used walnut for the box and handcut dovetails for the joinery. I had triangular offcuts that I glued together to make the lid.

I made this a few years ago so I can’t remember if I used handtools or a table saw to dimension the wood.

The finish is pure Tung Oil.

Thanks for reading!

    Was there a plan for how you laid out the top pieces? I like it. I’m an asymmetrical, kinda guy.

      Nope, I just grabbed them all in my hand and repeatedly placed them down until an interesting pattern was created.

      Once I found something that I liked I glue them together.
