BRIEF: make a beautiful box to keep on display, make it so it can house all my documents, and also make a locking mechanism that doesn't require a key and is very discreet. The result is an Cherry and European beech document box with walnut burl veneer and Makassar ebony inlays, French finished with orange dewaxed shellac. It has mitered corners with contrasting beech and ebony splines. On the inside its covered with cherry, ebony and american walnut veneer. Polyurethane glue was used for its strength and moisture resistance. The personalized locking system is made from brass pipes.
