Another great one, Gord! You have a very unique eye for woodworking creations. I really enjoy looking at your work!

Very nice box.

This is normal, Gord? I am starting to get a feel for your work. When I pulled up the project page, I saw this box, but couldn’t see the name without scrolling down. I correctly identified it as yours!

Stunning!

Cool box, I love to make boxes and this is a little bit different design than you normally see.

I think Don is going to like this one – I know I do.

Yes, CJP, I not only like it, but because I just love small wooden boxes, I love it!

Seriously, Gord, you work is very interesting. This is not intended to be a negative comment, because it is a box after all, and I just love small wooden boxes, but my first thought was that it was a small coffin for a pet or something like that. I’ve not seen brass rails used in the way you have – I guess that is what tricked my thinking.

Very nice work – and as Charlie implied, it has your design signature.

oh yes.. this falls into the “normal” category—ah.. not really. Very unique and stunning!

It looks great!

This is the result of thinking outside the box.Your use of brass and the contrasting woods makes a strong visual statement.Subtle this is not. Always risky, but worth it in the end. I like it!
Making small boxes allows us to explore new designs,materials,combinations of wood,hardware,etc…and that will greatly influence us in our other work.

Haven’t been on the site for a bit so please pardon my late comment on this beautiful box Gord. Outstanding design and execution. I really like pieces with an architectural feel and your work certainly has that feel, especially this box. Love it and thanks for posting it.

Gord,

This is my favorite piece after viewing all of your projects. Chip’s posting reflects my feelings very well. I’ll add – it also has elements of design “risk”. And you’ve pulled it off very well. I would enjoy seeing more of this kind of work.
