Found a beautiful piece of mahogany and decided to make a small box. The thickness of the mahogany is 3/4”. A little thick for a 6” x 4” box. I’m have been doing any resawing I need tto do on my table saw because I don’t have a bandsaw. That’s been kind of hit and miss so I left this at 3/4”. I did resaw the maple. I’m thinking 1/2 or 5/8” thickness would be better for small boxes. Any feedback from you guys would be appreciated.

  • Beautiful work! Your finish looks amazing. Exquisite joinery work on every box you make.

  • Thanks, the high gloss poly really makes the mahogany grain dance.
