Very Nice, great use of a special piece of timber. Thank you for the blog.

Lidded boxes are always popular and there are only a few limits as to what a bandsawn box may be!

Great box. I love the design (and will probably be copying it for my own box someday). Your hidden hinge mechanism sounds intriguing… I’ll have to read the blog.

That’s one great looking box the grain and finish are beautiful.
