Mesquite Box

Making a pencil case box out of a piece of swirly mesquite wood as a gift for an artist friend.  I liked working with mesquite, the sawdust has a nice smell.

The question everyone asks is, "why does it have a hole in it?"  Well, anyone can have a pencil box without a hole in the lid, this is what makes it special!
