Recent eBay buy
Bought this on eBay recently. It arrived a couple days ago. This is what it looks like fresh out of the box. It appears to be a book matched burl veneer over quartersawn oak. I guess they had a lot of nice oak laying around they could waste.
The inside is milk glass with fancy wood trim. There's a panel missing with part of the seal gone. I think I'm going to keep some of it but make it mostly cedar.
It has a couple coats of varnish, the last inexpertly applied, so I'm planning on refinishing. The seller says it's Scottish. I haven't figured out why yet. Nice box though!
