I’m with Lew, the feet are really cool. Great box!

Nice job. I love walnut, and love the way it smells when cut.

rareddy,

Well, to each his own.
I think it stinks, I prefer the smell of pine.

Boys, boys. Come on, rosewoods – that’s where the great smellin’ woods are.

Seriously, Woody57, great job. Very traditional looking and very dressed up box with those bracket feet. For color there is not much to top air-dried walnut.

From the photo it looks as if the box is mitre joined. Are the edges reinforced?

-- Whatever

croquetman,

The box is made from 1/2” stock. The the front and back panels are rabbited and the end panels are
cut square. About 1/4” of end grain shows on the ends, but it was sanded well and as the wood gets
darker, it shows less and less. It was assembled with wood glue and clamps.

Woody,

The proportions are right on! Can you give some dimensions?

-- Don, Pittsburgh

The top is 8”x13” and 3/4” thick.
The sides are 1/2” thick.
The box is 7”x12”and 4 1/4” high ( cut off 1” for the lid)
Total height is 6 1/2” with the bottom and the feet
I hope this helps.
I got the plan from the Woodworkers Journal several years back.

Thanks!
