I think your neighbor will be giving you more wood! Nice job.

Brad, Great box! The lid and handle is a perfect design for that box. Like reggiek said, it gives it that asian flair. Very nice contrast of woods.

Nice build

very nice build. I really like all the different woods that were used. I’m sure bibb would be proud of the compliment and your use of the handle.Congratulations again on an excellent build.

Brad, this is a gorgeous box. The paduak keys add a nice contrast to the box.

What kind of finish did you put on the box?

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Fantastic box. The wood choices are fantastic and the handle is the extra flair.

Great design and build.

Keep it up.

Scrappy

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

Thanks for all the kind words LJ’s, much appreciated!
Dusty56- Thank you for the link.
Scott- The finish is Minwax Anntique Oil.
The pictures didn’t come out that great. I took about 20, but only 4 were decent. None show the figuring very well in the oak.
Thanks again for the comments.

-- Brad, Oregon- Wood, it's what's for dinner.

BEAUTIFUL Box. I love it and your neighbor should too. Great job.

Great job – looks good!

-- James - What's your excuse this time??

Did you try photographing it outside ? You’d be surprised what daylight can do for a dark item : )

Dusty56- It was raining and overcast so there wasn’t much light. It probably still would have been better though. One thing I’ve never been accused of is being a photographer. (: Thanks Dusty
