Making a Ring Box Out of Cocobolo

This little box is made from a very nice piece of cocobolo I've had for a few years. The dimensions are roughly 4" x 1.8" x .875". The hinge is a 10mm barrel hinge that can open a full 180 degrees. I used a simple paste wax for the finish and buffed it out to a satin sheen. This is a great project if you want to work on drilling precise holes; I probably could've done the hole thing on the CNC router, but where's the fun in that?

Feel free to refer to the CAD layout in the video if you want to recreate a similar box! Thanks for watching!

Congrats Ryan and Brooke!
