Your boxes always have such a distinct look. These are no exception and just as gorgeous. The gentle shaping looks perfect and you always manage to bring out the grains expertly. Beautiful work, well done!

-- Brad, Oregon- The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first.

Really nice! I too like the hinge pins and wood combinations.
Great work on these, Someday I’m gonna get around to making some more projects.
Thanks for sharing. The inlay is reall nice!

Excellent boxes. It’s nice to do a short project now and then instead of the more time consuming ones.

You’ve got a knack for finding some great wood Paul…
Great looking Boxes!!

-- Mike in Concord, NH---Unpleasant tasks are simply worthy challenges to improve skills.

These make me embarrassed for even posting my boxes!
Is there a link for Andy’s tutorial? – i need it in the next 24! -another late job for my daughter to gift to her Aunt & uncle…
-how do you do those inlays/ I tried -it was ugly!

Thanks everyone for the nice comments.

Christine … thanks . No need to be embarrassed, we may all be at different levels here but we all started at the bottom, everyone works to get where they are. The embarrassing thing is I’m not sure I know how to post a link… here it goes http://lumberjocks.com/Argyllshire/blog/19800. ... it worked.

The inlays a pretty easy , if you do a search there are several people that have done tutorials on them.

-- Paul , Calfornia

These are really nice! I like the way you used many types of wood and how they came out. Good job, thanks for posting the link, I think others will be encouraged from the many styles of these on LJ.
