Bevy of Boxes

Nice boxes Charlie. I am curious, what kind of finish are you using?

That is an interesting grain. Nice boxes too.

Very nice set of boxes Charlie. I really like the first one, they are all beautiful. Very good build.

Does the lid hing on the first one or sit on it ?

As usual, absolutely beautiful.What gorgeous wood.I have to agree with Lew I LOVE that first one, of course all are great!

Thanks!

They are all finished with Danish oil and wipe-on poly. The first one is very high gloss… doesn’t show up well in the photos. The second is also gloss, but not with the high-polish treatment. The third one is satin finish.

Very nice Charlie. (All Three)

I especially like what you did with the first one in bookmatching the top.

Thanks for posting them.

GREAT job, Charlie. One of these days I’m gonna try one. I really like them all, but kinda favor the first.

-- Gary, Huntsville. Two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do.

Nice crop, Charlie. I especially like the drama of that first one.

Great looking boxes, Charlie! Do you have purposes/people for all these, or are you like me, just going to make boxes until there’s NO MORE WOOD?! ;-) Michael C.

-- Mike in Concord, NH---Unpleasant tasks are simply worthy challenges to improve skills.

Those are all very nice Charlie. I’m partial to the sappy walnut one :)

Very Pretty! Well done!

Wow Charlie. Don from down under would whirl having a time critiquing all these boxes so I’ll do it for him. Mild yet an earthy tone, with a smidgen of quaffing goodness, yet I am holding back my full appraisel until further scrutiney is carried out with my jewel fob. Personally I think they are beautiful. Yea that first one is a grabber. m
