Box w/ Wooden Hinges - New and Improved

I love the hinges and someday I’m going to try doing something like that. That’s a beautiful box.

exellent ! love the hinges also

WOW!!!! Really love the burl on the top. The book matching is great. I also make wooden hinges using the incra. Adds a nice little touch that not everyone does. You should definitely enter this into the competition…..it’s a winner. Look forward to seeing more examples of your excellent work!!

Looks a lot like Holly wood. Does it have some blue streaking in the wood. Holly does that.

Here’s a set of tables I made from Holly and Popular.

Thank you, everyone for your kind remarks. Always positive juices flowing at LJ’s. The wood on the top is from the trunk of a tree we call a raintree, although I don’t think it is. I will take a photo of another in our yard and post it. Some one is likely to be able to help me out on identifying it, like the orchid tree I posted last month.
In case I forgot… Happy, Peaceful and Prosperous 2008 to ya’ll.

Scott, that is a beauty. The top is really cool. Are the hinges fixed with wooden dowels?

Ditto on the above. Do a blog on how to make the hinges please.
