Beautiful work! I love the vibrant colors. How about making the lid with a darker wood? It would complete the extraordinary workmanship and design of the box. You could even stain the top. Very nice.

Great looking hinges. I’ve made a couple in my day.

I have always wanted to make hinges from timber but always a bit hesitant. I will defer to you on how to make them.

very, very nice! :)

-- Adventure? Heh! Excitement? Heh! A Woodworker craves not these things!

Looking good Ed.
I’m thinking the hinges may be stronger at the pivot if you run the grain in the oppisite direction.
Just a thought…..Good luck on the sale.

Eddy: the pivot pin is Blackwood. One of the blogs showed how I made to pivot pin. I then re-drilled the hinges to the larger hole that fit the pivot.

The blog is here where I made the hinges and the pivot pin.

-- Scrap Wood's the best...the projects are smaller, and so is the mess!

Nice job on the hinges and the box,

Super job. I’m intrigued with the hinges – looks like I have some research to do!

-- Where did all this sawdust come from?

Great looking boxes! You made them in one evening?!? WOW! Great workmanship!
