Nice box Charlie. Really great use of veneer.

Thanks, Guys.

Mrtrim, after I did what I had decided to do with the inlay, I realized that it sure as heck looked like I ran two of the four edge pieces through the router table with the wrong side closest to the fence.

And the reason I know that is what it looks like is…...oh…DAMHIKT!

WOW, that looks great. I’ve never done any veneering, never thought too much about it, but that really looks good. That’s one of the things I like about this site, always seeing something that raises the bar.

Great Charlie. A nice design

It’s nice to see more people working with veneer.

I really like the proportions. What are the dimensions? Very nice work.

Thanks. The lid is about 13 1/2×8, and overhangs the box by 1/2” on each side. The interior is about 7” deep.

Great looking box, the veneer work is awesome. I can appreciate the amount of work that goes into a box having just built one.

Thanks, BeachBum. Spent a night in your little town on a drive up the coast last year. Beautiful country!

Charlie you have got that veneering down quite well – and you inlay work is almost there, just a little short :-)). I understand that you intentionally made the inlays not meet – the end result is great. I personally rarely make a conscious decision, but I try. Good looking box and the pool ain’t bad either.

Very nice work, Charlie. You are indeed getting this veneering stuff down. Way to go!

Hot Diggidy, that is some fine veneer. Another beauty, Charlie. Alright Kids, stay away from the pool…

That is really sweet. Good job.

Beautiful work as always. I think it’s facinating to follow the infinate number of woodworkers visions of a simple 6 sided box. I guess I say this because there seems to have been a bit of a surge of boxes lately and it’s fun (and educational) to compare the different styles and approaches. Anyway, love this one Charlie and thanks for sharing it with us.

Charlie, just an outstanding job. They look beautiful.

Thanks again to everybody. I have a good bit of this veneer, so I’ll be trying to come up with some ways to put it to good use.
