Thread: WIP: Fatboy Box with laminated wood lid

get the materials ready:

for the lid, I need blood wood, yellow heart, purple heart, lace wood and ebony

for the tray, I used American walnut and red oak.

make the laminated lid


1. cut the wood into slices with precise thickness
2. glue the wood slices together
3. cut the laminated piece into thin slices
