One more then we wait till I make the next one. This was a quick and easy to make gift box I made for my Mom for Christmas this year. Now, you see, those old nasty jewelry store boxes just were not good enough :>) So, I found this article on the FWW site and with a new stock of QS Oak and African Mahogany on my floor well…... As you can see it came out great. I especially have pride in this one because the miters came our “perfect” right off the TS. As, much as I move and bang around my TS perfect cuts are greatly appreciated when they happen (see my shop pics I’ll post later this weekend and you will understand). Anyway, two coats of Bush Oil and the figure was beautiful. The pictures don’t do it justice. Simple, easy project, but fun and it came out great. I recommend it if you need a quick gift, they take very little stock and we all have those small pieces laying around looking for something to do ;>)

Lovely box Critterman and they transform a gift into something really special. Just my sort of thing; Mom will be delighted I’m certain. I like the placement of the slip-feathers near to the top.

Very nice. If these pictures don’t do it justice then I am even more impressed.

Great job Jim. I agree with Yorkshire about the placement of the splines. Nice touch.

Very cool. Echoing on the placement of the splines, looks great!

Thanks everyone this is a piece I’m particularly proud of, I guess everyone has one of those once in a while :>)

Buckskin: everything on the TS except the champher at the bottom and the rabbet in the top (which I could have done on the TS) those were done on the router table.
