This Christmas fretwork box is easy to assemble. I just use butt joints and no hinges to keep it easy if you are new to scrolling. The box is 1/4" thick cherry and the interior in 1/8" thick maple. I cut the bottom from 1/2" thick cherry.
Trim the interior after you have the box built. Cut all the trim pieces to fit. This is easier and ensures a good fit. Make sure the inside trim does not come all the way to the top. The top trim needs to have room to fit into the box.
