Welcome back. Great concept and build. How did you attach the legs?

I wish I had a design sense as unique as you. You are able to go from a complex concept to beautiful execution. What a gorgeous box.

What Blake said. I especially like the laminated handle and the legs. How do you attach both to the box? How about a shot down into the box, and dimensions. How do you finish your work?

Nice design – you can see the bridge design carried into the box. Good combination of woods as well.
