"addendum" boxes

Great idea, Larry, designing and making the boxes in a chest. A pirate would be proud to have that chest! Looks like it could hold a ton of gold! LOL :-0 Let’s see, at $1,300 an ounce, that’ll be . . . . .

Larry,
I love it! You certainly do things on a major scale. It’s a wonderful idea. I’ve played with the idea of box within box, but haven’t found the right box to work it with. But, this is great. Love your work.

I really like the hardware on the pirate’s chest. The iron strapping is fantastic. I wonder how many hours were spent forming the straps? What kind of fasteners are holding on the iron straps? The map inside the lid is a great idea too. Where did you get the side handles and the antique looking padlock?

another nice project. I too like the strapping on the pirate’s chest, it gives it an authentic look along with the finish on it which makes it look aged. Overall I like the look of your projects, starting with that New Zealand box with its crisp inlay design.

Beautiful work – especially the pirate’s chest.

Nice treasure chest, yes the strap work is superb, very realistic, I don’t really know, I’m not a pirate, but if I was I would hoard my booty in style with a chest like that, thanks for sharing

-- It's Mic Keep working and sharing

Excellent Larry! I can see there has been a lot of hard work put into them.

Keep up the good work.
