The wood for this project is plum burl salvaged by a wood carver. Unfortunately, he lost his job due to Covid and had to move. The wood could not go with him.

This box has a 3D printed insert. This insert, printed on my Prusa mk3i printer, I have designed to be a simple twist, lift, and back twist pattern. My wife does not want to spend an hour opening her box. It is complex enough to foil a casual thief – but not complex enough for a dedicated thief.

Plus, the plumb wood is pretty.

The box is 3 inches diameter a little over 1.5 inches tall and finished with shellac friction polish.

Enjoy!
