Very cool idea! I’ll have to find that copy of WOOD and make some of my own. What a great hostess gift.

Thanks for all the comments.

The variation is to cover a mistake I made.

In the photo you can see a horizontal strip of Maple about 1/4 inch from the bottom (on both ends). This was due to a dado made too deep on the inside of the end which accepts the bottom. The dado is cut on the inside of the end piece and later a template is used to cut the curve to the end on the outside. When I made the curved cut it exposed openings where I had cut too deeply from the inside.
I inserted a strip of Maple to “plug” the holes and sanded flush.

I actually like the way it turned out – appears to have a curved inlay giving added detail to the design.

So instead of calling it a fixed mistake – I’m calling it a “variation” on the design in Wood Magazine.

Looks cool GCB, and nice save on the dado. It looks like it’s supposed to be there.

What a great looking box! Do you recall what issue you saw the design in?
