Oak and Walnut Wedding Box with Onefinity CNC

My wife, Rev. Dr. Rhonda Schienle, runs a ministry business in our area of Indiana which includes performing a few dozen weddings per year. One of the items that is very popular with her couples is a marriage box which has a corresponding poem to go with it. The box is used for vows, cards, mementos, etc. during and after the wedding. This one is made from white oak panels and walnut posts and measures about 5-1/2" tall by 12" wide by 5-1/2" deep.

Both traditional and CNC woodworking are used in creating these. The oak and walnut starts as rough sawn and gets cut and shaped to proper dimensions along the way. The carving on the top and some sliding dovetails in the interior are done by the CNC. Quite a bit more is done with a bandsaw, miter saw, table saw, a hand plan, lots of sandpaper and a few more items.

Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Jones for asking my wife for this wedding box as part of their ceremony. It was my honor to make it.
