Box is made from an ASIAN wood (paulownia tomentosa) that was harvested locally. I cut the wood into boards that were air dried, then milled into useable material. Very lightweight. Corner Splines are Black Walnut as is the 5/8" wide Top Inlay Strip. Top edge has been profiled. Finish is three coats of sprayed gloss lacquer.

For Custom BarSteve was amazing. From start to finish he conveyed a sense of professionalism and care for his work that translated into a well-though out finished product. Upon receiving the bar, I knew I made the right choice. My friends and family have consistently raved about the quality of Steve's woodworking. I recommend Wooden-It-Be-Nice to anyone who wants a piece of quality woodworking with an approachable, down-to-earth professional willing to go the "extra-mile" to ensure customer satisfaction.
