Ever since I read Andy’s blog on his Art Boxes, I wanted to make one. Finally, I got the courage to do it, and this is what I came up with. Although the box looks much better than the pictures, it is not anywhere close to what Andy does.
Well at least I tried, and I think I will try again.
The box is made out of black walnut and curly maple. The bottom of the tray and the box was lined with suede.
Thank You Andy for your wonderfull blog, and willingness to share your knowledge with others.

I like it, It looks like someone tried to scrunch it up and straighten it back out.

Very nice, I dont see the fail either. I do on the other hand understand, every artist is his own worst critic though. Nice job.

I can’t how this can possibly be construed as a failure. I think it’s a fantastic box. I actually prefer the subtle waviness of your surface to the extreme degrees some are taking them. I like both, of course, don’t get me wrong;) But I really, really, like your box.

Good News, Bad News…
The Bad News, is that you did NOT make an Andy Box…
The Good News, is that you made a flawless Wood Miester Box!!!
Great Job on a Great Box my Friend, Well Done!!

It might not have come out quite the way you wanted it, but that’s not a failure. It’s the first step in learning how to get where you want to be.
It’s a nice box and a great first attempt. Looking forward to seeing your next ones.

That ain’t no failure, it’s a very nice sculpted box. It turned out much better than my attempts. You are your own worst critic [a woodworker characteristic]. Keep up the good work and if you’re ever in Tulsa, stop by and give me a lesson!
