Crown molding box

Very unique box. Really like the molding for the sides, gives
it something ‘extra’

-- Still learning everything

Interesting box you’ve made here. I don’t rememmber ever seeing that Idea of using crown moulding.

interesting piece. does it have hinges or a lift off lid?

Very cool ides, Vjer. I’ve never seen one like it. I’d love to see the effect on the top as you describe it.

Very nice looking box! I like what you did on the sides.

I once used crown molding for feet on a project.

Good looking box – I like the top and the crown molding adds a little something to it’s overall appearance.

the corners are quite unique . i really love small projects that incorporate crown moulding . i throw out truckloads of leftover crown and am always looking for ways to use some of it . great post

Great job! I’m always looking for ways to get creative with moldings. Sometimes ideas come to me in the craziest places. I’ll be out to a movie with my wife and see some furniture in the background and wham! Forget the movie, I’m back at work

How did you join your crown into your corner supports? looks complex. That is a nice bo.

Wow! I have never had such a vision for leftover crown moulding.

I like this a lot. I’ve never seen crown molding used on a box like that before, interesting how the profile is recessed inside those corner pieces.

Thanks for the kind words. I found the crown molding at my hardwood supplier in Houston. They also had walnut, cherry, and birch crown moldings.
Woodtex: The lid is a lift-off type.
CharlieM1958: The only reason I could think of as to why the top does its thing islight refraction on the surface.
Bradford: The corners of the molding were 45’d and the wenge was then glued to it. Blue tape works really well as clamps for odd shaped glue-ups.
