This is a traditional spice box but made interesting through the use of Chechan Rosewood as the primary wood and Bird's Eye Maple as the secondary wood.  It follows the plan of Steve Latta available from FW.

The drawers, except the fronts, the drawer dividers, except the front edges and the back are of maple. The second picture shows the center drawer a bit open and you can see the maple and half blind dovetails. Thanks for your kind words.

Are the drawer boxes made from birds eye maple? If not, I don't see where it is. Posted: 7:15 pm on October 15th
