i like this will have to try this on my next box thanks for sharing

Beautifully built. Great job!

A fine box for a high purpose. The wood choices work well, and those splined corners are crazy good! First time I’ve seen them like this. I appreciate your telling/showing us how you made them.
The cedar lining provide form and function. Well done sir.

You did a superb job – I like both (challenge 1 & 2 boxes).

I really like the crescent moon idea..

David, One of the most beautiful boxes on this site! The miter splines are wonderful and most creative. Very insiprational! The work on the top lid is nice and tight. Thanks for sharing. WOW!

Even better than the first. And sometimes accidents have unexpected consequences. The resulting X is gorgeous.

David, you certainly have people thinking,
My dog ate my homework so I will have to do it again,, look out for something a little different.,.. not as fine as your work but different just the same.

Show off! (just kidding) They are wonderful boxes and I love the spline treatments. Not sure I understand all of them yet, but they are truly unique and eye-catching. I’m sure the native American church you made them for is very grateful for the great craftsmanship and design.

I’m really amazed.

-- Greetings from the Netherlands.

Well done. That is special. Great craftsmanship.

David, I love the way you made the top … randomly organized. Very cool. And the splines look great, particularly the “surprise” X design. There’s a subtle art in the way you lay out your pieces.

David the box is fantastic but the corners are beautiful.

Great work.

-- Whether You Think You Can or You Think You Can't, YOU ARE RIGHT!!!

WOW thats a great box

I have to agree with everyone on this! I think its superb! I for one like miter corners and accents it makes the wood look like its flowing around the box .

-- Rj's Woodworks,San Jose & Weed Ca,

Patron, I must say I spend a lot of time on this site, and there are very few individuals in your league.
I think you’ve probably forgotten more then I’ll ever know.

Just looking at your stuff makes me want to go in to the shop.
So, thanks

PS: That box is WILD!!!

-- Eric

Brilliant box…....well done David.

-- I will just keep doing it till I get it right.

David, Thanks for the inspiration. Last night I made a Miter slot cutting jig for my cross cut sled and did my first 1/8” mitered corners for a insert box on my second toy box project. They came out great, for my first attempt. I’m already thinking of future projects that I can use your super cool dadoo technique on. Thanks, for putting me over the edge and getting me with the fine woodworking program.
