Very, very cool! Another super idea. You have inspired me to try unusual boxes again. Did you make the strapping yourself? Where did you find that great looking antique lock?

Well done on all of them

Larry,
I continue to love the box in box approach! Thoughtful, and elegant adding an additional layer of discovery, or delight to the whole package. Just as you did with your marvelous pearl inlaid jewelry boxes. Well done, indeed!

Yelp me too,,,,,all of the above…

All the boxes are great, but the chest made my jaw drop. Incredible work.

-- I measured once, cut twice, and its still too short...

That chest is amazing!

Thanks everyone for your kind comments. To answer your questions Ron and Richard, yes I made the iron strapping. , as for the reproduction hardware and locks , I purchased them from Van dyke’s restorers. Most of there reproductions are fairly reasonable., and Paul aka tinnman65, the ammo box look is exactly what I was going for on the chest. I could just see it riding along on top of an old horse drawn stage coach. Thanks again everyone.
