Keeping in Christmas tradition I'm making boxes. Mostly because they're small and easy to build, but also to try out new techniques. I wanted to do some inlaid banding around a top panel which required making my own veneers for the lid. Overall this was a really great learning experience and I'm looking forward to trying these techniques again this upcoming year.

Boxes provide such a great way to build skill and finish projects. They are small so material consumption is small, but that also means that you can't hide mistakes like you can on a large project. I also like the versatility in the build. #box #christmasgift #veneer
