-- Jeff B.

We had the same idea this past Mother’s Day. I made a couple boxes for my wife and Mom. I like how the maple compliments the mahogany in a subtle way. Not bad for a guy from Louisville. . Go Cats! I did like Pitino before he defected. :)

JP – this is beautiful! Who can blame me for just loving small wooden boxes?

Great start, my friend, can’t wait to see more of your small box work.

Thanks.

yah, how DOES the bottom attach?

really nice work.

-- Thos. Angle

The bottom doesn’t attach. There is a rabbit cut around the bottom outside edge that fits snugly down into the tray/base. All you have to do is lift up the box and the bottom stays behind.

Simple but elegant design. I love it!

Nice work JP! Not too bad for your first time around the box block. Keep up the good work.

Very nice.

nice looking box. i haven’t had the oppurtuniy to work with mahogany yet, but hope to make some more boxes myself. i love the color.a real eye catcher. my intro to box making was making a burial urn for my dad. my mom liked it so much that she had asked me to make her one as well. little did i know that she would be using it 13 months after i made it. a sad intro to box making, but it got my interest.

keep at it, you’ve definitely got talent!!

Great box JP. I’ve never made anything with Mahogany before. it looks great.

This is a sweet little project. I really like it.

Very nice, JPW. Looks like you but in some time on the finish, too. Good show!

That is soooo nice. I like the false bottom, too.

Thanks for the feedback, guys! My mom likes it so much that she’s got it on display in her living room instead of using it for it’s intended purpose.
