Randall C. of Heiskell, Tennessee builds keepsake boxes to give away. This set of three — graduated in size, all in poplar with walnut accent stripes and corner splines — was photographed in his shop, lids open and shut, before heading out to family and friends.
The boxes are poplar and walnut finished with polyurethane, built with a table saw, bandsaw and hand tools, from no plans. Randall puts the materials cost at about $50. Each one has a moulded base, a lid with a brass stay, and contrasting splines at the corners.
