Easy Storage Box
So many woodworking techniques are crammed into this wood box project! I made this custom wood box to hold a laptop and other items for someone. She came up with the dimensions based on her items, but the box is approximately 20” long x 10” wide x 3.75” tall. The body of the wood box is made from air dried walnut that was chainsaw milled locally. The lid is maple from a tree that milled about 1.5 years ago.
There are some pretty fun woodworking skills in this one. I put splines in the corners and used my spline jig to do that. The box also has a divider so I had to use some techniques at the router table to get the dados just right.
The laptop storage box was finished with Osmo Top Oil. I really like using that finish. It’s simple to apply and looks great!
