Maple and purpleheart keepsake box
This one of my favorite wood combinations and possibly my best effort in small box making. I don't draw detailed plans for my boxes, just a quick sketch and some chalk marks on the stock. I simply ask the timbers what they feel like becoming and do my best to help them along.
This box features a lift off style lid and a divided lift out tray. I haven't got around to using fabric or flocking on my box interiors and have some regrets for not doing so.

Nice looking box - well made. That maple has come up nicely.

Nice work--it almost looks like it was carved out of stone. Nice contrast in your choice of wood.

Beautiful box! Love the photograph as well.
When all is said and done, there is usually a whole lot more said than done.

Great box
sort of has an oriental look to it - something from Tibet or Nepal perhaps
Superb!

Very nice. Nice contrasting colors. Is the body of the box one piece or did you miter the sides? Was the cove cut done before or after assembly? Again nice work.

I'll add my applause to the list as well - that purple heart is beautiful against the gold timber...
