Some Oak Accents

I was in Niagara Falls this past few days helping my Mom with a few things and I dropped by a wood moulding store nearby and picked up a couple of nice pieces of oak trim.

The smaller contoured trim in the foreground of the photo will be fastened to the top of the box with the contoured side facing down and the flat side up.  The idea is that this flat surface will be what the hinged lid of the box will sit upon.  The larger piece in the background will become the base of the box.  I cut the mitred joints on a radial arm saw.

Here’s what it will look like once it’s glued together…minus the tape!
