Nice stuff. That box displays at least 3 major skills, executed with amazing craftmanship.

Is that an Incra joint?

HANDCUT DOUBLE DOVETAILS! Whoa!

Great job, an astounding piece of work.

I just finished a wine bottle box and now that I’ve seen yours mine looks like, well you know. I didn’t think of putting a holder to secure the bottle from moving. Now I want to get mine back and make it right. Thanks for showing me the way.
Today….. You Da Man.

Chris, excellent job! I’m humbled to have been mentioned as a part of your success with this box. It looks phenomenal. Those dovetails are really tight. Oh, and I love those hinges…I want to try those in the future.
I’ve never thought of using purpleheart with walnut, but you’ve “nailed it” with this wood combination. Your brother/sister-in-law are going to love it.

Thanks for posting it.

hand cut double dovetails?.. and I would have guessed you used that jig. Awesome! Quite the project, I hope he keeps some nice wine in it, or something befitting the craftsmanship. Fantastic!

Chris, that is one beautiful box. Having recently ventured into the wonderful world of boxes, you have definitely given me inspiration as well as raised the bar. Very impressed with the overall design, the double DT’s and the wooden hinges. You have been added to my Favorites for motivational purposes.

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

Chris, I am in aww of your craftsmanship. Phenomenal job! It was a pleasure just looking at it.

That is really fine work. I hope he doesn’t waste that beautiful box by housing a Dremel tool. It deserves better than that.

Incra’s got nothing on you.

Beautiful joints.

Beautiful. I love the contrasting colors. Well done. Are those hand made hinges? Can’t tell from the photo.
