My mom asked for a lightbox for Christmas this year. I thought I would try to build one instead of buy.
This was the first time I used keyed miter joints. The box is milled out of a single board and the grain would have lined up great in the corners... but I had to re-cut one of them due to a jig mishap .
Oh well, only WW's would notice anyway .
The wood is Cherry with Maple keys. The box has a slanted top and uses some material I picked up from Dean (Dino). In the pictures it is finished with only 1 coat of BLO.
