Monte, nice boxes. Consider a design like this? Or, a top like this? You have chosen some fine wood to work with here.

So glad that you got the opportunity to use/salvage this nice wood. An LJ'er of your caliber really does it justice. Wonderful craftsmanship. And Box Guy those are likewise superb.

Monte, awesome box's and nice woods. These look to have the side mounted wooden hinges? These boxes would also look great with the finger joint wooden hinges as well, I'm moving more into making my own hinges I find them a blast to make.

Good going !!!! The only wood I use is recycled, downed wood (old age or storm) and Sequoia wood that was cut in the late 40's ,early 50's and left as unuseable. My LT 40 woodmizer, a 48" alaskan mill and lots of work turn "scrap" into really nice stuff !!!

Keep up the good work and imagination.

I like both of them but that oak is really special. Not sure I have seen that species before unless it is blackjack. Was it REALLY hard and heavy for oak?

After my experience with Live Oak is that's harder then rock 2,680 but I'm speaking of Live Oak not sure what blackjack is Andy, it's not listed in the wood data base unless it's the same as black oak, it has a hardness of 1,210 which ain't bad, live oak on the other hand is harder then Bubinga , I was about to get my hands on an Osage Orange tree here local but it's even harder at 2,760 just don't like working with those hard woods.
