This box is made from some recycled wood, that is, very old redwood (100+ yrs.). I milled it into 3/16" layers, planed and sanded to 1/8" thick. I had no large pieces of this wood so a small box was a good choice as a project. Those thin "sheets" were used to make all the parts of the box; top, bottom, sides and liner.
It is four inches square and just over one inch high. The box has a friction fit lid. There is no hardware at all on this one. The corners are 1/8" box joints.
The finish is boiled linseed oil followed with hand rubbed wood wax.
