Let's build a pencil box out of zebra wood and cherry!

I signed on for a gift exchange with a few other YouTubers, but like a smart, forward thinking individual, I waited until the last minute to start the project. AH!!

This wooden pencil box is made from zebra wood for the outer box, and cherry for the inner box drawer. I really liked the sleekness and elegant nature of this design, so I used a simple hard wax finish for the zebra wood outer pencil box. Hardwax oil is hands down my favorite finish. Super easy to apply, and it leaves the wood feeling like...wood! Not plastic, like lacquer and polyurethane do.

For the inner box (or drawer) of the pencil box, I finished the cherry with shellac. Shellac dries really fast and gives good contrast to the wood grain. As a bonus, it works as a seal coat. So in this case, I used shellec so that I could paint the inside of the box and maintain a nice, super crisp edge along the top of the cherry drawer.

This project was a great challenge, and pushed me to experiment with a few different techniques such as resawing wood with a table saw, mitered box joints, and balancing paint and wood textures.
