Christopher,

Any time I see people ‘thinking outside of the box’ it motivates me to put my own creative abilities to good use. I like your ta2 gun box and find that the simplicity is a beauty onto itself. Nicely done.

-- I can so I wood but why are my learning curves always circles

Beautiful, you can’t even see the seam between the lid, & the base, that’s what I call precision.

It sure caught my eye, I am sure your brother will appreciate it.

Dick Cain took the words right out of my mouth. I didn’t even know it had a lid until the last pick. It’s seemless!

Very nice

A very carefully built box. In the first pic, I don’t even notice the lid line. How did you cut it?
Beautiful finish too.

very cool!

Thank you for all the great comments guys!

When I build a smaller box like this I usually build it as a single unit, sand it, then cut the lid off on the saw. Makes a nice fitting lid.

I really like how you designed the curves around the knots. What saw did you use to cut it open? It Must have had a very thin kerf!

GREAT job! I put it on my favorites.

WOW! Great Job, Christopher. You’ve gone where I wouldn’t even bother to TRY to attempt to go. I’m one of the people that wishes they had the kind of patience and talent that it takes to do such a beautiful job. Simply stunning.

That is a very nice box: the finish looks awesome. I had to look twice to find the top.

Very nice looking box. I really like your technique for creating the lid. The shape is very unique and desirable. Your brother should be pleased and proud. Thanks for sharing.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

Great job !!! What are the dimensions ? The finish is as wonderful as the box itself : )

Alsome box, beautifully finished. True the lid fit is terrific.

I really appreciate all the responses on this box guys!

Dusty56- It is a small box, roughly 6” long by 5” wide by 4” tall.

Hawgnutz- I cut the top off with my tablesaw. Got a little burnage but I was happy with the lid to box fit so I did very little sanding on the edges.

Brother loves it by the way, I now have two more boxes to make for ta2 gun storage from the shop my brother tats at. Actually gonna make a little money for once!

Again, thank you all so much!
