Here's a simple box I just finished. Cherry with dovetailed corners.

It turned out well but I regret using cheap hardware from Amazon,especially the stamped hinges.

Finish sequence:

  1. 180
  2. 220
  3. Coat Minwax "Tung" oil wet sanded with 320
  4. Oil wet sanded with 400
  5. #0000 steel wood and paste wax

Wonderful job, looks great! The best piece might be on the inside. It's got a great grain.
