A couple of simple boxes made from mitred Spotted Gum decking boards with Silver Ash liner and felt bottom. The left is a blackwood top and the right is Tas Oak. I think I like the Tas Oak more, the straight grained simpleness of it work well with the busier gum. Finished with 2 brushed on coats of blonde shellac.
I've had these off cuts for some 7 years. I was really surprised how nice the the spotted gum came up. They were random offcuts, so I tried to match the colors and grain type with limited success. Budget hinges and closures - they work fine as 'box I need to put some stuff in or it's going on the desk/dresser instead'.
