We had a cutlery set given to us for xmas, and the other half thought a nice wooden box instead of the cardboard one would look nicer.
This is the result, it is made from some old tassie oak boards (i think) l had in the shed. I am still looking for some thin foam to line the lid with.

I think the cardboard box would have been a better option Timhttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/images/icons/icon10.gif
Only kiddin mate, it looks very nice. What about a nice green or red felt lining for the inside rateher than foam?
Did the joints work out correct first time,,,be honest now.http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/images/icons/icon7.gif

The type of foam as used for mouse mats is good for lining boxes. It cuts to a nice clean edge and is durable without being too thick.

They sell it or something very similar in camping stores, as sleeping mats, it mostly come in bright colors though.
