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!

Wow, that looks fantastic! I like the light/dark pattern, almost like piano keys.

Also, I didn't immediately see which community this post was from, and for a second or two I thought it was a little piece of cake from one of the foodie comms. It does look delicious...

Thank you very much!

Now that I think about it, it does kinda resemble a nice looking cake. :)

I can think of worse cake flavors than walnut and maple.
