special commission box

Very elegant box. The woods compliment each other and I like the way you did the lid. That’s some really nice “old fence post” wood you have there. Very nice.

Great box, good craftsmanship. I might just go out and cut down a sneezewood tree.

Outstanding box! Although I have to admit a little knowledge gap. What is “Sneezewood?”

Fantastic box. Great choice of woods and great use of reclaimed fence post.

Keep it up.

-- Scrap Wood's the best...the projects are smaller, and so is the mess!

I guess the first comment “elegant” pretty well sums up this fantastic little box.

Thank u all for the comments,Sneezewood is a tree indigenous to southern africa:Ptaeroxylon obliquun,Sneezewood lasts nearly indefinitely in water and makes it ideal for bridge and jetty construction.I,ts a popularwood with stock farmers as they use it for almost indestructable fence posts.It has olso been used as machine bearings often outlasting brass or iron.It contains an aromatic oil with a slight peppery smell causing sneezing when worked.

“Sneezewood from an old fencepost?” Beautiful, Johan. Both your boxes here are stunners. You have fenceposts with more character than we have here.
