This was the second thing I made at college this year. The lid and base are Tasmanian Huon pine and the sides are Myrtle. I chose this piece of Myrtle because of the wonderful fiddleback and because of the interesting sapwood-like coloring. I say sapwood-like because it's in the center of the piece of wood and sapwood occurs at the outer edge of the tree so it's likely that this coloring is due to the beginnings of rot in the center of the tree, but it looks nice.
