This is meant to be a “man’s box” for keys, spare change, wallets- a catch all for your pockets at the end of each day. It was a lot of fun curving the sides with a handplane and the inside via coping sled on the table saw.

Large curvet valet with inner box. Spalted wood and mahogany with wenge and paduk pulls.

The two lids are of solid spalted alder and maple. It has hand-carved handles of wenge and paduk .

The main box is mahogany, the inner box of walnut.

oil and wax finish, of course…

I’m fond of making my “mustache” handles.
