Hey all,

So I want to make some sort of a box or case for my nice little yellow/green thuringian stone. It never came with a box as the label is on the back of the stone. I've really come to love it lately and has seemed to trump my coticule every-so-slightly. It's about 6"x1 1/4" roughly.

I want a box it to close securely and want it to be padded inside so it won't rattle around at all. I want this so I can travel with my razor, strop, and my thuringian for touch-ups so I'll be ready for anything.

So anybody have any experience or ideas making a box for a stone? Type of wood I should use? If this goes well, I'm going to fashion another for my 8"x2" coticule.

All suggestions and comments welcome. Thanks for the replies!
