Very nice, I like the contrast with the wood choices and also the quadrants.

what are the dimensions and what finish did you use?

Very nice… I like that inlay around the case edge… a distinctive detail. I'd like to learn to do something like that.

I like the hinges and you did an nice job of mortising in… does the use of that type of hinge then require something close to 3/4 thick sides? I saw the hinges, thought they were rather expensive for my skill, so went with simple box hinge… and thinner sides. I ask simply because I'm getting ready to try my next box. I'll be trying the keyed miter I think… I like your spacing and color contrast. The customer already asked for a mirrored lid… so that is one decision down. lol

again, fine work.

If someone walked up to me and whispered "oak and bloodwood", I don't think I would have been impressed. But seeing the combination I have to say it definitely caught my eye. As Gene pointed out, the spacing works very well with this contrast.

Nice Box!

Thank you for such nice comments. I really don't recall the dimensions of the box. I made it for a charity event about 1 month ago. It was the first box I made. I finished it with minwax wipe-on poly oil based.

This was also the first quadrant hinge I installed. It was a test of my patience but well worth it. They weren't expensive hinges either. Very low price on rockler but the quality wasn't what I was hoping for. I found some better quality quadrant hinges from LeeValley with a very good price as well. The sides of the box were 3/4 inch but could have been thinner.

A well executed box! Very appealing and some really nice detail touches. The hinges look 1st rate. I also like the chamfer on the BW lid insert.
Thx for sharing.
