I made a custom maple box for a deck of playing cards. The wood looks beautiful, but I have a way to make it POP! This video shows how I made this and my key tip to making the figure in wood really come to life.

Years ago, I was asked by a teacher to come up with a wood box to hold cards he used in his lessons. Since the project is small, I could use the best looking wood I available to me. That woodworking project was way before I started YouTube so I recreated it to show a crazy finishing process that enhances the look of the project. This box is fairly simple to construct, but there’s some fun woodworking elements in it. Even if you aren’t a huge card player, give this wood box project a shot. It will boost your skills and give you something beautiful to show off.
