Boxes

Joy’s box features a sliding drawer and a sliding top. Its dimensions are about 12x6x3 1/2 inches. The sides are Walnut, and the Padauk ends are pinned with brass as an accent. The top is made from many woods and many layers of overlay. Steve’s Box (the lower right) is a drum stick box with a sliding top.
