A gift for Robin

No matter how much sanding it took, its one of the nicest ones on here. There are alot of good ones here and this one ranks right up there! The finish and lines are perfect , well done

I have to agree, this is an excellent example! Great smooth curves, even gaps and reveals, equal thickness on the space between drawers, etc. Beautiful finish as well. A really gorgeous looking box! Great job!

Got to agree a well executed B.S. box, from start to finish superb….BC

Wow! The grain pattern on your glue-up is very nice! And those handles…they really set the peice apart from others I’ve seen. Just beautiful, Stuart!

Very well done. The end grain looks book matched, a nice touch. I also like the divider in the bottom draw. Was this sanded with an OSS or by hand? Either way this box took a while to finish. Into my favorites it goes.

Thank you all for the generous comments.

Scott, this was a combination of rough sanding on the disk sander and OSS, and then by hand through the grits to finish. Sprayed with water to raise the grain and then sanded again. Two coats of sanding sealer and then sanded with 600 grit. Several coats of lacquer and rubbed down between each one with increasingly finer wet and dry.

-- Stuart

This is a great looking box. Don’t you just love sanding. lol

-- Chuck

All of it, the whole thing looks fantastic! Tight glue-up, thoughtful grain orientation, clean and even kerf lines, and slick finish. Nice work!
