A mahogany dice box with a Dungeons and Dragons theme.
This was a really fun project. I had been playing Dungeons and Dragons with a group of friends, and at the conclusion of the campaign (which took about four months), we wanted to present the DM (person who more or less runs the game) with a gift. The natural choice? A custom-made mahogany dice box. The construction was pretty simple- the entire thing was made with a table saw, some hardware, and wood glue (plus some stain & sealer)- but I was pretty happy with the end result. Check out the photos below for an overview of the process!
