Oh Charlie, If Australia Don were only here. He’d let you have it. Kinda like this ” although you show strong atributes of becoming a fledgling box maker I assure you you have a long way to go. The lines are strong and the details are weak but you hold your own with the conundrums. Therefore I give you a B+ for effort and an e on conundrums. Personally Charlie ole buddy, I think its a bute. Dang this baby is getting heavy.

Thank you Steve, Allison, & Jim….you guys need to spend less time on the computer. :-)

Another beautiful job Charlie. I love those woods together. Just when I think I’m starting to catch on, you LJ’s feed me a piece of humble pie. Thanks for sharing!
