Boxes are always interesting projects because they can be as simple or as complex as you want them to be.

I created this box as a gift for a family member. It is made from solid oak, and I decided to go with a dark stain for this one. It features solid brass hardware and a velvet-lined interior. All the hardware is inset into the solid oak for a smooth and flush exterior look.

Of course it wouldn’t be a true heirloom without a personalized solid brass nameplate!
