Keepsake Boxes with Miters and Corner Keys

Made a couple of keepsake boxes, all with mitered joinery and reinforced with keys on the corners. Over time I've kept and saved various pieces of weird woods, with knots, burls to use them eventually for lids, and also some interesting veneers, bird's eye maple, grey stained oak that I glue them on plywood to make the lids.
