It's a small jewelry box with a hidden compartment! Harry Potter fans will identify the film's influence on this piece's design. Those who unlock its SECRETS are granted access to a super secret compartment.
This container was built using oak hardwood and plywood, stained in dark ebony and a lighter "Harvest Oak". I was hoping for a very natural look, and the stain combo reminds me of dark tree bark and exposed wood.
I'm a new fan of stains. They really bring out the natural beauty of the wood grain, and provide for more variation within the piece. I also realized how much I am in need of precision cutting tools. A lumber handsaw is the wrong tool for precision cutting...
If you're here and not me, then I'm assuming I know you. If you want a customized box, let me know. We can do a similar design with a new top, or something totally different.
