Nice job and some beautiful cypress. I would love to have some of that. We have big bald cypress trees here but I have never seen a dead one and they never blow down in our storms (but I’m waiting).

Cool looking box. Like the wood and shape of it.

Nice cutting… post pics when it has its finish coat. I think Danish oil would be a good choice.

Thank you for all the nice comments!

Tony,
I went to your web site and looked around! WOW! you are a true craftsman! And thanks for all the nice “hint’s”. I have some plain Western Red Cedar in my shop and I’ll be using that for my next box when I find the time!

About the Cypress wood I used for this box,
When I first saw that sick looking hunk of stump that I made this box from I would never have thought this nice grain wood would emerge from it. I was planning on this being a throw away piece. NOT…!
What’s funny is now I keep thinking about all that dry firewood I burned up over the years when I was younger and now don’t have access to anymore. I’ll bet I burned up some nice treasures!

I feel I have learned that it’s project that determines the way you perceive the wood you will use for your project.
