Methods- I used Rhino for just about everything pertaining to this project after I got my pattern from the make a box site. after importing both the box pattern and the mana symbols from pdf format, I arranged the pieces on a 2' x 4' reference layer and used a simple engrave to outline the symbols on the face of each drawer and used inside cuts to add detail. After deciding that doing the same along he sides of the larger box may get monotonous, I decided I would simply cut out the mana symbols individually and glue them to the outside.
After cutting, I used Carpenter's glue on each joint to give the box and drawer structural integrity and assembled it.
After assembly, I sanded the outside of the large box and applied a few coats of a Pecan stain to make the engravings stand out more and then applied only 1 coat of a urethane to give a sort of rough sheen to the whole box.
