this started out as a way to demostrait to my level 3 joiners how a curved lidded box is made and it spiraled out of controll fromm their.. basic construction is a ply box covered in cedar.. tricky part on the whole part was the lipping that goes up and over the curve. wanted the grain to flow over rather than cutting it out of solid and having short grain going across. so i mitred to thin lengths together and then cut by and all the angle worked from a rod and glued into place. to glue a placed tape over the outer curve and laid it flat and painted a thin coat of pva and rolled it into finished shap and more tape added to hold itsd shape…. then place it in the microwave form 30 seconds on high and it set the glue… then glued the solide curve to the the lid to complete it. finished of with a light polish oil

Very nice. I like how you commented that your project started out by just showing how a curved lidded box is made and it spiraled out of control from there. I know that feeling. One time I was making a mailbox for my house and I ended up adding a 18×12 deck on the front.

Very nice indeed, What I really like is how you used the lid for storage space, I have thought of doing this on my round top chests but didn’t think it would work, but your design is intriging. I also like the compartments inside your chest
I agree, handles would be nice, but now days handles that you find in the hardware store are so bland. I think some home made wooden handles would complete your chest. I have experimented on using wooden rings turned on the lathe for some of my handles, I try to find the hardest scrap wood in my shop for this.
Overall your project is appealing to the eye.
p.s. As I was looking at your other projects, I saw the tool box. That is another fine project indeed.
