Highlight Spectacular Wood With A Split-Lid Keepsake Box

Turn that scrap wood into treasures

Admit it, you like to hoard wood, too, right? Or at least the really good figured or exotic wood cutoffs. Those are worth saving, even if your “collection” is growing. All woodworkers do this because it’s hard to simply toss a piece or two of wood that has the potential to be transformed into something special. Erik Curtis (aka EnCurtis) shows you how to turn a few of those prized cutoffs into something special, a lidded keepsake box with a cut-away lid, mitered joinery, and amazing wood figure. Watch how he does it, then go and build your own.
