Nice job on a weird project. Why would anyone want to collect human bones – and where in the world would you obtain them? Really weird, but I guess everything has a collector.

I would like the SketchUp, too, please. That came out well. Your client sounds…, well, strange.

This certainly is a unique box. And the woods work well together. The woodworking, I am sure, was a challenge and from the post, it looks like you did well. I like the use of the stopped splined miters. This is an element that is not used often in furniture construction.

Thanks for the post.

Here is a link to the Sketchup, please read the note as the sizing was redesigned during build and I only updated the lower half.

There are also some other models in this collection for your perusal…..

Oh, as for the bones, I hear that they are purchased in Manhattan from a importer. Apparently, the bones come from old digs in China. Not my cup of tea, but it was fun building the box.

I had a friend that made what he called a finger box, for lost fingers. Maybe your client is this guy..
nice job…
