Bubinga Magnetic Box

Another CNC project -- some bubinga scrap turned into a box with a magnetic closure, rounded interior pocket, and painted turquoise inlay.


Clamped down to the CNC spoilboard.



One half already cut out and inlayed with magnets.


The box half directly from the machine after the first pass.



 Jig for milling out the other side. This is because the reach of the end mill / bit is limited, and also in order to mill out the hole for the inlay.


Pale red look before applying walnut oil.



The wood absorbs the walnut oil quite well so I keep reapplying, especially to rough spots like the cracks.


The magnet side.
