I started out making a lidded box with maple top and cherry bottom. the sides are based on leaf veins and top one of the many I have been using for Avatars, the sides of the cherry bottom are a tight weave design.
However, the first bottom I made did not fit so I made another top and bottom to fit the old top and bottom using a different top and a bottom made by the same process but looking like dragon hears but this time the top was Butternut wood. I had understood the wood would be like Walnut and the nut like butter but it is apparently the wood that is like butter, almost like Basswood but stringier, the bottom was the PG cherry, with the woven design, Unfortunately, that top also did not fit either so I made another top with the dragons…
So now I had to make another bottom so this time I made that in Butternut too but instead was inspired by the dragons to make the bottom scales instead…
