Thanks guys….it an ongoing challenge I have to get this down pat before I move to another design.

Doug, It really depends. It has ranged from 5/64 to 3/32. I have gone through two different boxes and they were both different sizes.

A very good looking box. Nice mix of woods and a really great top.

-- When you give someone a chance it may well be their last.

Thanks Charlie, I cut the pieces for the center about 6” longer and then cut them off after the glue dries. The extra length gives me the handle and enough to make another if I mess it up (that has happened a couple of times.)
