The box sitting on our harvest table, prior to delivery:

The shiplapped boards that make up the back of the box, with the edges beveled to 45°:

I have a 10-minute video of the “build” of this box on my blog. Thanks for looking!

I first thought the center panel was dented up metal! Very interesting look.

Thank you all!

I apologize, but I forgot to include two things:

1. The wood is quarter-sawn sycamore
2. The finish is Waterlox

The rest IS on the blog :) . Thanks for looking!

Man, that is too nice to keep bread in! That door panel is insane! It looks 3D. Did you use any tricks to get the figure to pop? Nice work

Thanks, trim, Brad, and Mark!

The door has glass in it – it popped by itself :-) . We selected it to match the glass in our daughter’s upper cabinets.

Thank-you very much, Dale, Dick, and Tom!

Dick, The door “panel” is in reality what someone has called “water glass”; I think that is a GREAT way to describe this glass. It provides enough distortion that the contents of the box are just discernible.

I love the process of getting from rough lumber to a finished piece. My thanks to all for taking the time to look at this project :) .
