Great piece of wood, well worked into a really nice box.
From the shipping costs it must be a fairly large box.
You should visit Guam and use the box as your cabin trunk!

Beautiful box, I’ve always had a soft spot for figured maple.

5 to 8 hundred dollars ? American? Are your speaking of postage here? You know Guam in part of America and you can ship it by mail. Although you would have pay an up-charge for an oversize carton, It’s hard to believe some one at the post office quoted you that. Go to another branch and ask for another quote.

Beautiful Chest. I like your dovetails. Great choice in wood too. I sent a much smaller box (9×7 inch) to my sister in Australia a few years ago. It cost me over $150 by USPS from Kansas and it took over 6 weeks to get there.

Thanks for posting it.

I’m always partial to curly maple, and this box seems to be a real gem. You definitely built a keep sake for them, hope they get it to Guam safely.
