A really nice design! I prefer bamboo skewers to brass rods and there are 3x3 mm round neo-magnets that fit nicely at the top of the holes 
Agree that the veneer gives reason to the layers that I generally don’t like unless different species are used. The yellowheart apple will make it easy to find with a uv light

It’s just a bunch of rectangles stacked on top of each other. Some of them have rectangular slots cut in them to make the space for the pencil. How many of them depends on the thickness of your wood. I used two solid rectangles of 1/8" walnut for each half of the box, with 3 layers (for each half) that have slots. The topmost layer has openings in it to fit the magnets. In between are corresponding layers of veneer, except you don’t cut the magnet holes in the top one, because it covers up the magnets.

I like it. And that is an excellent idea to change the -olarities. I’ll keep it in mind for the future

This is beautiful! As if I expected any less once I saw who posted it. 
The last 2 days, I have been looking at all things Apple pencil holder. lol However, I ruled out boxes because I need it to attach to my iPad case. (Good thing, because mine would not look this nice LOL)
Sadly, my poor Apple pencil has gotten misplaced so often and mistreated, I had to break down and buy something from Amazon :roll_eyes: :rofl:
that I could have made myself. I can’t wait until my GF is functional again since the part is out of stock. Boo… Although this will give me the opportunity to study how they made it and come up with my own twist and make my own in the future, so all is not lost.

It strikes me that the technique is the perfect one for non-rectilinear boxes,

He’s posted tons of them!
Wow!!! I looked up his name wrong, anyway where is a good source to get hardwood like that reasonable?
I got my plywoods from https://smokeyhilldesigns.com/. For hardwoods, there have been a lot of good sources posted on the forum. I don’t have any favorites just yet. 
Kim Oberlin is a seller on ebay (or direct via email).
His prices are impossible to beat, but there is one caveat: he only sands to 80-120 grit, so if you really want to make the project look its best you’ll have some sanding to do. That being said, you’ll have to sand no matter what if you really want your project to shine, so…
If you want wood that is closer to ready to go there are lots of places, but I find Ocooch to be a really good source.
