Default Walnut Pencil Boxes

The wonderful winter weather has kept me locked in. So I decided to build a few walnut boxes.

Very nice.
Although in my younger days we called them stash boxes. Pencils were the last things you would find in them.

Very nice. I'd get one too. Looks like just a short step to a small jewelry box.

Those are beautiful. I'm typing this with my laptop resting on custom walnut furniture—love the wood.

I agree with previous posters; you need to build a guitar now!

Thanks all.


Lumber for these came from a fine hardwood furniture shop. I purchased their scrap bin for 60 bucks.

Really beautiful work.
This pencil box with the sliding cover would be absolutely perfect for my desk!.



In any case, just primarily posting because these deserve a nod for fine craftsmanship!
