Cherry box

Really beautiful box!
I guess you feel restless doing nothing once you completed a project while waiting to begin with another.

Jim, this is a really nice box. I have also found that it is a real stress reliever to work on a small project or two when I am in the middle of a long construction. Just getting a piece completed seems to recharge my batteries and get me ready for the next project. You chose a nice combination of woods with this box as well.

Nice job.

Me, I just really like boxes. This one is great, and the walnut is a very, very nice accent. Does the lid overhang all four sides, and if so how did you handle the hinges?

Looks good. I like the great big dovetail in the top ;-)

I like the handle.

Chris, The lid does overhang evenly on all four sides. I used very small brass hinges. One wing is fastened to the outside of the back. the other is attached to the underside of the lid. I used a dremmel to route a small mortice in the back to hold the hinge barrel so that the lid would close with no gap.

Greay job. Around our house the remote get placed where ever that are carried. I don’t know what someone would carry a remote away from where it is being used. But they do.
