Beautiful box Larry: I have had a piece of Hickory, that I have had for a while that has some beautiful grain at one end. I just can’t bring myself to cut back on the beauty of it. I think you gave me a idea how to preserve that beauty. I think now I will make a large flat style jewerly box.

Thanks for the insperation:

Larry, that is very nice and the wood is beautiful.

Larry,
Beautiful, as usual. You have a wonderful eye for this stuff.

Nice wrap Larry. I love the way that any piece of furniture looks when we the builders accentuate the looks of our raw materials to bring out all of the beauty of the materials.

I’m cutting up some wood now for use in making candle boxes for a class that we will be having at our woodworking club. I plan on showing them the all corners match process.

Very nice, Larry. I like the way the legs also function to keep the lid in place.

Good one, Larry.

I like the addition of the silky oak and the lid catches my eye the most with the contrast between heartwood and sapwood of the camphor laurel.

Nice job Larry

We use this same idea with most of our work. For example, stiles on neighboring doors will be cut from the same board. The grain can wander back and forth between the doors. Or the veneers on the door panels will match from one door to the next. Any major grain detail is visible in the same spot, on the entire run of doors. This seems to make a project “flow” a little better. While it takes more time, the outcome is worth the trouble.

This attention to detail, while not always noticed initially by the client or even the designer is something I point out to them. This has definitely added to the perceived value of our work. It also has proven to lead to more work, as there aren’t too many shops that will go to that extreme.

Again, nice work Larry.
