Stunning. I too love the latches. The wood is also awesome. Your wife is one lucky woman.

Thanks for the look.

This is a great box! It gives me an idea for a box. Having four sides lacewood with halfblinds to walnut corner pieces. Yours is beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

Cool…love the latches.

Great sewing box Stewart.

There are so many things on LJ that we keep saying I want to make one of them.

And your chest is no exception. A great tribute to a great box.

Wow, that is some nice work and some stunning wood!

Sew what? I can’t help but say it, “I just love small wooden boxes”, particularly when as beautifully crafted as this one. You can bet, Stewart, that one version or another of this great looking latch will appear on a number of small boxes, perhaps even one of mine.

Nice work, great craftsmanship.

Stewart that is an absolutely beautiful box. Well designed and executed. I’m with everyone else – I like the wooden hasp/keeper design.

Not that it hasn’t been said already but, those are great latches, and are those wooden hinges I see in the back there?
