Guitar Pick Box

This is a small box I made, in the shape of a guitar pick, for storing guitar picks. It is made from Mahogany wood. It has a brass pin for a hinge. It measures 3/4 of an inch thick and just shy of 2 inches in longest dimension. The lid has a friction fit . . . there is no closing latch . . . the friction fit holds it closed. Did most of the work on this on the band saw. Finish is boiled linseed oil only.
