I’m glad to get the tip on mixing oak and pine. Any tips on how to stabilize this better? I like all the contrasts you have here w/ the contrasts in the lid panel, the pine base, and darker wood as accents on the base. The reclaimed lumber is a bonus. If you need some support, I’ll tell your sister how much she should appreciate your gift, if you’ll do the same after the holidays with mine. Thanks.

A very nice Box. Difficult to see details of joinery, but I like the spline work. As you probably know now, using pine as a secondary wood with Oak can result in warping in time. I hope you sister appreciates you work.

That is so pretty! Where did you get the measurements for it? Or is it something you did on your own? What kind of finish is it?
