So I got inspired by the boxes that Lumberjock Andy makes, but got too impatient waiting on him to finish his blogs, so…. This box is made from curly maple, curly cherry, and bloodwood. I finished it with poly and wax. It was the first time I actually used a grinder on a woodworking project, and must say, it was pretty fun. If I could only attach my dust collector to it, because clean up really is a nightmare. I also flocked the inside, another first. I didn’t have a plan for the box, so there are no trays or dividers yet, but I’m sure they will get added once I know what to do with it.

As a box-maker myself, I really like this piece. I usually end up using a stationary belt sander instead of the grinder but the end result is the same. You’ve done a great job on this piece. I especially like the barrel hinges. I haven’t put them to use yet in any of mine but I really like the touch they give the box.

Very nice box. I really like the rounded corners and general rounded look. Makes it look softer.

This is very nice! I like the proportions and of course, the woods are great,the contrasts really grab the eye.
There is such a freindly feel to this.
Thanks for the compliment,that is very kind of you.
