Nice one Biff, and I guess you can say that you are #1 since you had the first entry into the contest! :)

I like the mitered design and the fact that it’s new life for some nice wood. Good show!

-- "Bordnerizing" perfectly good lumber for over a decade.

Nice work. And your killing me! You left an empty space! Room for detail shot.

Nice work with recycled wood. I really like using alternatives to the big store lumber.

Biff, I just love small wooden boxes. It looks like this contest is going to be a real treat for my eyes. Cherry is not a readily available wood in Australia, so re-cycled Cherry is most unlikely.

Well done, and best wishes on your entry.

Nice box and we are our best/worst critics. Every project is a learning process for another project.

Beautiful box, you must hate to part with things like this, but you have the picture for memories.

I’ve just been going through the entries.

For me, it’s going to be real hard to pick from all these amazing creations.

It would be much easier, if we threw them all in a hat, & drew the winner.

Just saw this one. Man you really have the inlay process down. I want to try my hand at it when I get a little time. Thanks for the post

Hi Kevin,

I am not sure how I managed to miss this when you first posted it but I am glad it came back up on my list.

This is a gorgeous box. Maple and cherry are a favorite combination of mine. Thanks for the post and the story behind it. I have often said that I believe the story is just as important as the project.

Thanks for the post.
