Easy Storage Box

Billy Newton

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!
