Japanese style box - Smashedfinger - 06-06-2019

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.

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?

Very nice piece of work.  Must have been challenging working with that grain.  I agree, spray-in felt would not do the piece justice.

My box-making abilities wouldn't match up to this, again, good work!

Ain't nuthin wrong with that attempt. It's beautiful!

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!!!

Nice work! You did the wood justice, let it speak for itself.
