I’ve made three of these Woodsmith boxes now. They are very easy to make, the joinery is simple dowels and most everything else is cut on the tablesaw or router with a cove bit. This one is curly maple and walnut sides with some danish oil and spray can lacquer.

Wow this beautiful box was creativelly designed and skillfully constructed.
I like the following creations:-
1) The carrying handle on the box side is profiled from the same board and showing the end grain
2. The pull handle is also profiled from the same board of the box lip. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Great box and great variations!

Thanks for all of the kind words, however I cannot take credit for the design for this box. I found this in an old issue of Woodsmith. I’ll post the issue when I get home tonight.
A pinned hinge would be interesting! There are a few more examples of this box in some othe jocks galleries, try a search for Woodsmith box…
Thanks!

The dimensions are approx 12” wide, 4.5 deep, and about 3 high, the compartment itself is actually around 2.5” high.
The issue of Woodsmith where I got this is #174.
Be sure to check out Woodhackers projects here: http://lumberjocks.com/jocks/Woodhacker/projects ...His are much nicer than mine. For one, he did a larger radius on the sides which is recommended in the article. It looks a lot better. And his glass smooth finishes are incredible.
