Very nice! I like the style! The birdseye & walnut go good together.

Great box! I really like how it looks organic. What did you use to carve the box?

-- Julian, Park Forest, IL

NICE, I love the look

-- Brian

That is a good looking box. How big is it? Is the lid hinged?

-- A thing of beauty is a joy forever...

I used a flapper disc on an angle grinder to rough out the waves, then a lot of sanding to get to the final smoothing. The size is 7”x7” and it is hinged in the back.

Take a small cube box design and make it spectacular. I think this shows the difference between craftsman and artist of wood.

Your Box looks Great. The rounded edges make it stand out from the standard form. Great Idea.
What grit do you use on the Flapper disc to start with. I have looked into this and would like to try it on a Jewerly box. Do you use only one grit or do you change to a finishing grit than hand sand?

-- Dominic, Trinity, Florida...Lets be safe out there.

I had a 36 grit flapper, then used a black and decker mouse with 120, 220, then hand sanded with 400 and used something finer on the finish coats.

Excellent results..

Wow, gorgeous little box!!!!!!

I love the combination of Birdseye and Walnut. The lines on this box are just beautiful, it even “looks” soft to the touch.

Did you roundover the corners with a router first or just by sanding?

A favorite for me….........

Well done. Outstanding figure in the bird’s eye! I love the simplicity of this design. I second the lid question from above. Is it hinged or just free?
