Box with Wooden Hinges

This box measures about 4 x 6 x 1.25 inches. It is made entirely of Mahogany with box joints, or some call them finger joints, corners. There is no closing latch. The hinges, though, are wooden (with steel pins). Tiny hinges like these are not strong. There's just not enough wood to make them strong. I just couldn't resist the challenge though. This wood is beautiful. It has a deep shimmering glow. The finish is hand rubbed linseed oil and wax.
