Corner spline joints are used to reinforce and lock together two pieces of wood that meet at a 90-degree miter joint. Spline joints prevent an end grain joint from ever opening and can provide a nice decorative touch as they can be made from contrasting wood species. Whenever choosing a spline joint I normally choose one that has maximum contrast in order for it to be clearly seen. If you do not want to see the spline joints as easy we can match them to the wood specie.
Popular wood spline colors include -
Maple (White)
Walnut (Brown)
Wenge (Black)
Redheart (Dark Red)
Yellowheart (Yellow)
Aluminum Metal (adds $20)

The felt is a thick durable option that provides an extra layer of protection to your cards. Right now black felt is the only color option.

Removable Dividers:
Removable dividers are used in association with larger cube boxes and travel cases. With computer aided design we can pin point their location and cut a grooved mortises that allow these wooden dividers to slide in. The dividers are then removable to accommodate larger sections of a cube. Each divider adds $3 to the price of a box
A rectangular inlay is a contrasting wooden strip that is mitered and glued into a groove that is cut into the top of a larger cube box, switchblade, or travel case.
