You are right, once you have jig set-up, why not run 5-10 of whatever you are making. Good job.

Eddy, these are gorgeous boxes and you have some nice cutters in there too. I hope they sell well.

Very nice boxes. I like the fact that you left the knots in and made them a design element. Most people would cut those out, but I feel that it is just a part that make the piece of wood beautiful

I agree with Indiana, knots add character to a project. The boxes and boards look great. The maple is beautiful and the color combination really makes them stand out. Great job and good luck at the market.
