hey all, thanks for the replies on the help, well i took it to home depot, they thought it was mahagony, that wasnt it, so i went to lowes, front desk told me to go back to the flooring dept, where they have exotic wood, and they put the piece of wood next to all their wood, and the closest we can come to is chestnut, same exact grain and all, but we will make a trip to where i got the wood from soon as my truck is fixed again, so i guess for now this is one of the world's mysteries that just don't want to be solved. thanks again all Jim

Oges, go to your local stations website, and get a pic from it of the djs, thats what i did for the first time, and then i took them to the morning show djs, they loved it, also use the pattern by steve good (his merry christmas box) and make your own pattern of the stations logo/motto, the dj's and one of the owners of the station, loved the box, i used 1/2 inch birch for them, and the top lid piece and bottom piece is the same size, dw, thanks man, we will get a plug prolly tomorrow, we kindof gotten to the station late, about quittin time for the morning crew.... pics of the dj me and my wife below sad to say i bent my knees a bit so i wouldnt stand so tall, well i still look like a giant with them 2 short persons, lmaooooooooooooo

Dale, yeah the pattern said it is made for 1/8 wood, and the way some of the pattern is has that other pieces go into each other, hard to explain, but all i did is made them wider by 1/8 so 1/4 would fit in them. sorry if that dont make sense, but it is hard to explain, thanks
