A bit of old firewood
Last year I saw what I thought was some promising split firewood in my SIL's wood heap . The grain was not as striking as I hoped but not too bad and was just enough to make this box 300x210x80.
I am undecided as to whether I should put a handle on the top and would appreciate thoughts and ideas about that .
The miter splines are wenge
I've just become an optimist . Iv'e made a 25 year plan -oopps I've had a few birthdays - better make that a 20 year plan

Nice looking box mate. I wouldn't put a handle on personally.

Great looking box! Personally, I would leave the handle off because I like the wood grain in the center piece. What first catches my eye though is the neat spline design. Well done!
When all is said and done, there is usually a whole lot more said than done.

Terrific firewood you've got there Pete, clean lines, great finish and those splines add class to the box.
