You'll be cutting three materials for this project. Here are the Easel projects for each material:
3/4" Maple: http://app.easel.com/projects/aKi0qY-N5wayLmLuDPjUIw
1/8" Cherry http://app.easel.com/projects/jfqQboOtJibtNHV7E-aYOg
1/8" Maple http://app.easel.com/projects/h1hDwBNMLl1yzVWiXaoOSQ
Cut it Out
I used an 1/8" upcut spiral bit for the 3/4" maple and 1/8" cherry and a 1/16" fishtail to cut the letter in 1/8" maple.
Sand and Glue
I sanded the two pieces of 3/4" maple with 80 and 120 grit paper until the fit was snug but easy to seperate.
I sanded the 1/8" cherry and maple with 120 grit paper to clean up the edges and faces.
I glued the 3/4" maple and 1/8" cherry circles together and let them dry overnight.
The next morning I glued the 1/8" maple letter to the top of the box.
Finish
I used a little pure tung oil to protect and finish the box.
Looks great! All of the Easel links have an error that says, "This project has not been shared publicly". :(

Why is that when I load the project all it brings up is the monogram for the lid. I am very new to this and trying to learn, any help would be appreciated.
