Part 2: Making a Scalloped Lid

The starting point for making the scalloped lid box is creating the distinctive lid panel. The process begins with a solid wood panel, then it's on to the router table shaping. A stop at the table saw turns the panel into narrow strips that are offset and glued back together.
