I made this little box to hold a couple of gift cards I'm giving my Mom.

Its about 3 X 4½ inches, and about an inch deep. Curly Maple and Bloodwood. Finish is several coats of rattle can lacquer.

I've really never noticed any odor to bloodwood - not like cherry, cedar, or hickory, etc.

As for color, it'll mellow out a bit - darken to more of a maroon - but will pretty much keep that dark richness.
 
Thats a nice box Jim :thumb: I like the card for the inside also yumm. The bloodwood really works well with the curlie maple. All in all, nice work :wave:
