I'm just getting back into woodworking after a 15 year break. My first attempt after setting up a shop. I used to make these back in the mid 90's and this was my first try so it's far from good. I can't figure out how to insert an image in the post, so I put in this link instead. I was planing on using some spray in felt for the inside but I like looking at the clara walnut burl.

Really, really nice!
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

I think the box is wonderful. If you don't want to "lose" interior burl, how about a felted removable liner like a cigar box with Spanish Cedar(?) liner, or secret compartment? What types of wood did you use?

I agree, spray-in felt would not do the piece justice. My box-making abilities wouldn't match up to this, again, good work! Frank S in IA

Very nice! No way would I cover up that wood with anything.

I would not cover the bottom. Too beautiful.
You made it to be seen, so let it be. Nice work!!!
