Very fine! What beautiful wood. I’d have left my wardrobe behind, too!

That wood looks rich. Simple, functional, and beautiful.

Really beautiful wood
Great project!

Gorgeous box! I’d love a suitcase full of koa.

Wonderful box. Perfect use of a contrasting wood and the lift design is really nice, as the moon symbolism. A tasteful, well executed box.

Wow what a gem, just a wonderful piece thanks for sharing BC

Hi Mr. Shutz,
After seeing this box, I checked out the rest of your projects. I really like your focus on the handles.

So many projects are diminished by thinking it doesn’t matter and using “Home Depot” hardware.

At first, I thought darker splines would have been nice but then it occurred to me it would take away from the 2 focal points, the moon inlay for color, and the hand carved handle for texture.

Very nice.

You made me laugh. I thought I was the only one who drives the TSA employees crazy with what I carry home in my suitcase. Came back from Canada with a box of rocks one time. Sure looks it was worth the loss of your tighty whiteys from the looks of that beautiful box. Nice job.

I see you like making boxes, and some fine looking boxes they are!
