For many people, magazines provide reference material that's valuable to hold onto. If you've incorporated magazines into your personal library, you may have run into storage difficulties since most magazines are too flimsy to stand up properly on bookshelves. The answer may be magazine boxes. Made from solid wood, each of these four matching magazine box-sleeves can hold a full year's subscription to a magazine. Each of the boxes features finger-joints at the seams, which -- when finished in tung oil -- result in a contrasting highlight at the corners. Finger joints offer a sturdy way of joining wood together at right angles and give the visual effect of the wood being "stitched" together. The sides of each box are shaped by template routing, and the bottom is a wood panel that rests in a dado. The four matching box-sleeves are stored in a walnut case built using mortise and loose-tenon joinery.
