A fantastic looking box. The wood just jumps out at you. Great job.

Absolutely beautiful Andy. And there’s so much pleasure in giving such things as gifts. I can imagine how delighted the recipients would be.

I’ve come to the conclusion that using Myrtlewood is tantamount to cheating ;-) Beautiful.

What I really like about this is how the figure in the maple flows right on through the Myrtlewood, lovely. I assume mine is in the mail Andy…

The wood is absolutely beautiful! Great job finishing it as well. Great construction without an excellent finish is only half the job. You have done both!

all they’ve said and more besides. Another great one.

I agree, Tom, this is a stunning piece. I’d say there are four components to this box; exceptional wood grain, inspired style, outstanding joinery and construction, beautiful finish.

Since I just love small wooden boxes, I haven’t stopped thinking about your box designs since first seeing them a week back. I hope that you don’t mind, but I’m going to give it a try if I can find wood of similar beauty.

This box is tremendous… I really like that Myrtlewood. It all just flows together, what a great combination!

That is absolutely magnificent! I have rarely seen their equal! Your nephew married a beautiful woman, so a beautiful box is certainly an appropriate gesture of goodwill! :)

-- Adventure? Heh! Excitement? Heh! A Woodworker craves not these things!

I love these boxes. You do fantastic work. Your boxes would be a great addition to the book fellow lumberjock Dennis is putting together (and looking for other examples of great boxes like yours – see below):

-- A thing of beauty is a joy forever...

This is one of my favorites of your art boxes. Figured wood is my weakness and nothing looks quite like it. Keep making these Andy and showing them off.

WOW. I would have loved to see anyone’s face receiving this. I bet you would have liked to be there too. There’s nothing better than seeing a person’s face when you give them something you’ve poured so much into. Chokes me up man.

I agree Rick,thats the good part.
