Vegetable bins

Excellent box joints and dovetails. Especially, for taters and onions. Every time you reach for one, you’ll feel you’re making a high quality meal. Beautiful work. Thanks

Wow! If this is your first attempt at hand-cut dovetails you have NOTHING to be ashamed about! These are really good.

I also like the box joints – to me they look better on a box than dovetails since all four sides are balanced better.

The wood used is really nice as well – nice contrast. I would be proud to display these boxes in the open and not closed up inside of a closet. :-)

If I may make one note apart from the joints – if you would have used a smaller hand-hole or even an external handle you could have fit more in each box. The hand holes look really large.

Great job!

Good choice of lumber, and nicely done!

Bob,
In looking at picture three, the one showing them in the pantry, and judging the size next to that package of buns, it appears that the holes sized for a comfortable hand fit. They look big cuz the boxes are small.

Like ‘em. Nice to both get practice at a new skill and create something useful and beautiful. Enjoy!

I think they look fantastic. If these are your first, I’d hate to see you in a few years. Excellent job.

I have several different small boxes made with Maple and Mahogany. I really like the contrast of those two woods.. Nice work!

Maybe the degree of success varies but overall it’s excellent.
Next one would be really sharp.

Very nice, practice makes perfect, we are all practicing, for some first attempts those are some good looking joints, I like your box designs and wood combination, thanks for sharing
