Trinket box

[oscarl48]

Thought I'd take you all along a little project. I am making a trinket box for a friend who is a bee keeper. Here is the initial design.

This is one of my favorite box designs because it is super easy and fast. Butt joints with dowels for decoration and reinforcement.

The hinge are two hidden dowels. You have to round over the bottom portion of the lid so it will swing open but a router bit or rasp does quick work on it.
