Made from Mahogany and Aspen. This box is 1 7/8 in. thick x 2 7/16 in. wide x 5 in. long. The drawer is 7/ 8 in deep. It was sealed with Danish Oil and finished with a beeswax polish.
Jim, my guess is that the wood is cut along the grain then glued back, since I'm assuming that the drawer is from the same block of wood, but I haven't figured it out yet, either. However it's made, it's really nice!

Hi Jim.
glad to hear back from you. I have been absent almost just as long, but that was just because my 9-5 morphed into a 12-hour a day job due to... Something with the economy I guess. So yes. Good luck with your house. How come I have the feeling that after all this work you'll end up living...
