Wood Project Summary

While completing this project, I learned how to use many of the tools and equipment in the work shop. I also learned the construction of a basic wood box, which I had never actually done before. The strengths of my box are the looks of the structure. The 5 layers of the light and dark wood switching off adds flavor and makes the box stand out. Also, the rounded edges on every corner of the box make it looks professional, and it fits better in the hand. The weakness of my box is that the two compartments, or rectangles, are not proportionally matching each other. The two compartments also do not have the most symmetrical parallel edges to each other. If I was to redo this project, I would take more time in the beginning steps of building the box, so that I could have made the structure mean a lot more to the objects inside.
