Really beautiful and interesting wood combination. I didn’t see any gap worth mentioning!
Nice and thoughtful gift from husband to wife. Great job.

Brad this is a very special box. I really like the design. Well done. I’d say you are a bit of a perfectionist, Mate, can’t see any gaps in the miters. Please show us more, because I don’t think that I’m the only one that just loves small wooden boxes.

so beautiful; so special.
Really love the inside of the lid – and that surprise heart inside.
(What gap??)

This is really nice. I’d be proud to give it to my wife.

A gift like this, that you designed and crafted just for her, has to mean a lot.

I really like this box. In fact, on the top you’ve used a technique I haven’t tried yet. Now I’m ready to hit the shop and give it a try!

What a lucky couple, this is a wounderful box so well made.

Thanks for all your kind words! I’m a bit of a perfectionist (understatement!) if you look real close there is a small gap between the top section and the right section of the lid. The inside of the lid is the actual seating guide from the reception..it was a very small wedding! The lid lip is 1/4 round purple heart. The brass heart is engraved with the date of the wedding. I had a tough time getting it to stick..I didn’t lacquer the inside… just oiled!
@ Don I am new to the site..I thought you could only post three pics..how do you post more?

Great box Brad.

To post additional pictures they must be on the web some place like Flickr.com and you click the formatting reference above where you type and it gives you some examples.

If you have a picture on flickr, you right click the picture and then click properties and it will give you a web address of the picture. Copy that and paste it into your message with an exclamation point in front and at the end. No spaces between the codes like ! abc.web.address/pic.jpg ! I put spaces so I could post this and not get an error.

You can then click preview and it will show you the message and the pictures.

Beautiful design, wonderful choice of wood and great execution Brad. Love it.

-- Better to say nothing and be thought the fool... then to speak and erase all doubt.

That is a gorgeous box. I love the design and color combinations. Your execution is impeccable!

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

certainly is a beautiful box…the colors and craftsmanship are awesome : )
