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.
