This was made for my wife’s birthday. Don’t really fancy myself a box builder, but she wanted one and I have to say I enjoyed making it. It was inspired by the following two boxes that I thought were pretty nice. http://lumberjocks.com/projects/47450 http://lumberjocks.com/projects/41582 Who knows, I think I may have caught the “box making bug.” :) HAPPY B-DAY AND I LOVE YOU HONEY!

Watch out with the box making…it is extremely addictive! Great job on your first box! The swans look great…a bit of work to shape them isn’t it? thanks for sharing and can’t wait to see what comes next.

Bob, you did a very nice job on this box and I’m sure that your wife loved it.
