Beautiful wood, and beautiful finish. I really like the dovetail keys. I have never been industrious enough to make the jigs I would need to do dovetail keys. I really like the carving on the top.

Keep up the good work, and thanks for sharing.

What finish did you use? I am building a small cherry box right now and I really like the finish on yours.

What was I thinking. I should have kept that piece for myself! Great job, dad!

Keep it in the family Kent.. well done.. I especially like the dovetail keys.

Very nice box. And the personal touch makes it a true heriloom. Keep up the great work.

Great looking box. I can’t even see your miter joints.

Beautiful box!! The wood grain is great and you did a fine job high lighting it with your carving

Robh, If you have a router table the jig is not that hard to make. I guess I need to do a blog, although I’m sure it’s been done here before

JoeinDE The finish is semi-gloss lacquer. Thanks for the interest

RKW, I will do a class on that sometime. Come by anytime and I’ll expain how I did it. See my Router Sled
Project. One of the attachments does that.

Everyone else, Thanks for your interest and encouraging comments

Very nice.

I like the way you used the figure in your carving. Say what you like, but it is something to be proud of and your family will have forever.

Just curious, What did use for finish ?

Nice job Kent. Very pleasing to the eye.
