I had a bunch of scrap pieces of Pilang (Burmese Walnut) saved from when we had hardwood floors put in our house. I saved them from the installers throwing them out, knowing I'd use them when I had time to haul out my tools and set up in my carport to do some woodworking.

Well my new straight razor hobby has pushed me to finally take action and so I built a case to store straight razors. As you can see from the pictures I left the inside of the case raw and unfinished. I need to clean it up somewhat on the inside (scrape glue squeeze out and give it a coat of tung oil to protect it) but I plan to leave it rough to show the recycled nature of the project. You can still see the stamps from the flooring manufacturer in Canada in the inside.

The outside is finished with homemade orange shellac of various cuts, and good quality paste wax. The only thing I'm not happy with yet is my installation of the lid with the small piano hinge, it's not quite straight and not sitting right, but I'll fix it!

Hope you guys like it:
