So it is that time of year and I finally got the urge to work in the
shop again. Again building boxes for Christmas gifts.

I have been sitting on a small chunk of walnut forever and decided to
resaw into veneers and book match for 3 of the box tops.

For the other 8 boxes I am using a short chunk of that heavily figured
white oak that I bought last year. Again I resawed into veneers out of
a 22" long piece.

I remember that wood. Beautiful. It reminds me of some of the recent
Jupiter photo's but there each design was a different beautiful color.

I'd be wanting to try some proper fluorescent colors or iridescent to
match the colors with your designs like on Jupiter and call it a
Jupiter box. or 'sumpin'

A whole bunch if interested.

Some of the designs remind me of a Picasso

And all of the sides/top and bottom pieces. Once the boxes are glued up
I will cut the top from the bottom.

With first coat of varnish on the inside sides. Yes I will be using
Domino's to align the corners. You can see the mortises.
