That’s really nice, Blake!

This is the first time that I have ever seen Mango wood. That stuff is beautiful. I am going to have to find some of that stuff somewhere. Keep up the good work.

Great wood, great little box with a nice function. Are the sides and front/back joined with M&T joints (like a Stowe box)? How did you finish it? You were busy today with the posts. Thanks!

Beautiful stuff!

Another good one, Blake. I think you’re on to something with this method of constrution.

Your box makes me look at our mango tress a little differently. Just don’t tell my wife.

Nice box Blake – I like the design – the Mango is alright too, but a little busy for my taste (of course that’s just me – it is beautiful though). I REALLY like the design.

I agree with Cajunpen on the busyness of the wood. It actually looked better before I applied the oil. I made four of these at one time. This is the only one I have finished so far. I might try something different on the other three boxes. I will probably sell these or give them to family/friends. The original Koa Honeymoon Box is the keeper.

I like your work, Blake and I particularly love your small wooden boxes! The wood is most unusual. I like the busyness.

I have a blueberry/bran muffin just about every morning for breakfast. I wanted to pick this box up and eat it for some reason. Hmmmm ;-) Another beaut Blake.
