Super well done job! I found the more I hand cut different joints the more I enjoyed them over machined ones. To me they just give way more character… Finishes where pretty tricky for me at first too. You line up 5 Lumber Jocks and you will probably get five different ways of doing it. The best thing to do is experiment… Find what you like the look of best, and work to master it….

BTW… My favorite is oil and wax….lol

Keep up the great work and look forward to seeing more in the future…

That’s an awesome box! Very nice! Yeah the finishing always seems like the mystery of woodworking. I’m still experimenting trying to figure out what I like best. The worst part is, you finish a project and you’re anxious to use/give away as a gift/showoff, and you can’t until the finish is done and looks good and is completely dry. With some finishes, you’re talking another week. It’s the time to be the most patient when you want to be the least patient. I just experimented with some shellac and that’s so much better for an impatient person in terms of drying time.

Very good woodworking. I agree on the finish of a project. In my mind, its the most important part of the job as it can make or break a project….................but I am still learning. LOL
