<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 2394416, member: 6444"]It's called a blind rabbet joint, and it looks to be from the 20th century, made by a power saw. Nothing about the box speaks much age. Would guess mahogany, but not old cuban mahogany but the lower quality later stuff that is called "mahogany" in name only, but sourced from different trees in asia, africa, south america.</p><p><br /></p><p>Agree, don't post a video. Five minutes to see moving blurry low-res pictures, and waiting 4 minutes to see a fleeting glimpse of the bottom, isn't worth it. Not trying to be mean, but not the way to show images of a stationary object that we want to see close-ups of - five minutes we won't get back...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
