I bought a can of that Sedona Red, as I just knew that I would find a cool place to use a color of that name. I am quite impressed with your project. I think you will do well in the competition. Welcome to the world of boxes, it is a rather addictive habit to feed. At some point someone will start a recovery program for us on LJ. I have made a bunch of boxes, but I don’t think I have ever posted any of them as projects. Something to do someday. Most of them were gifts to family, and I don’t have photos. Have to get the photos or it doesn’t exist someone said on LJ once.

Shaun, that is a great looking box – hard to believe it’s made from 2×4s – who would have thunk it?

That’s one heck of a project Shaun. To have envisaged and then carried out the complexities of such a panelled box was a real task. The contrast in the colours is great too! Good luck.

very nice work shaun, hope you do well with it !

Very nice box, even without the limitations of the contest. To think it comes from a 2×4 makes it even a bit more special.

that does NOT look like it is made from “just a 2×4”. I’d be having a special place ready for it as well!!!
It’s gorgeous. LOVE those insert sections.

Great looking box … “Just a 2×4” ... great line.

Shaun, I just love small wooden boxes – and one made from a 2×4 – Wow!

Verry nice 2×4. A lot of thought went into the use of limited material. and a great finish. “A tip of the hat to you sir”

Great box, Shaun. I like the frame and panel look. Lots of shadow lines to keep the eye moving over the piece. The color combo worked out really well. Well done.

Great job. When I look at a 2×4 I see, well, a 2×4, or maybe part of a wall. You saw this chest. That’s enviable.

we’ll never look at the “lowly” 2×4 the same way again. I think the comment about your wife sums it up. Nice job!
