Cubby of Boxes

Wow. You do sweet work. Can I be one of the others? They do look fun.

These might be the most stylish boxes I’ve seen in quite awhile…well done. Blkcherry

Dammit, Miles! One of these would have been amazing, but a whole bevy??? I love ‘em!

How did you shape the center part of the tops? I’m assuming you set up a jig of some sort?

Really great work, Miles. The only trouble now will be the fights,” No, I like yours better, trade me, please!!!”

-- Thos. Angle

Nice job Miles! Your family/friends will enjoy these for a long time.

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

wow…. beautiful boxes (and design) and a beautiful picture! I really like how you included nature in the image. It is the perfect setting and adds to the beauty and charm.

Those are great. I would have never tried walnut and pine, but it looks great.

Some people are going to have a special gift for Christmas! Nice work, Miles.

These are great. I really like the two woods you used together. Great Christmas gifts…

I think that is the proper collective term for boxes – if it isn’t it should be! The whole one shown in the first picture is my favorite, the one behind it is my favorite too.

Very, very nice Miles. I love how they are very ‘fluid’ looking even though they are boxes. Great aesthetic appeal.

-- Jeff, St. Paul, MN

Beautiful combinations of wood and super looking, too. Great gift idea!

Great design and gifts miles.

Great stuff Miles. Quite the production run. I thought maybe you had made two first, left them together overnight and these were the offspring… like bunnies ;-)

-- Better to say nothing and be thought the fool... then to speak and erase all doubt.

Another great project. I was wondering who gets the better ones since you only made two. Well that can be cleared up in court. Great Boxes.

I’ve re-visited that middle picture maybe half a dozen times. It’s a great photograph of a lovely cubby of boxes. For some strange reason it put me in mind of a bunch of tortoises or some such snuffling around in the leaves! Terrific design beautifully done. Wish I received gifts like that!

A gaggle of gifts or a bevy of boxes, either way you look at them you gotta like ‘em. Great work Miles!

Incredible Miles! Awesome design. Walnut and mahogany meet southern yellow pine…...whodathunkit?

-- Carl Rast, Pelion, SC

I like these even better than the all-black one. Beautiful.
Like others have commented, in a group they do evoke thoughts of animals or insects. Wouldn’t want to wake up some morning and find them eating the tomato plants. Asian box beetle attack!
