That’s one fantastic looking box! Great job.

That has to be one of the best looking projects I’ve seen. I’ve never seen the double-double dovetail but it looks fantastic. Thanks for the post.

That Zebrawood is visually striking.

Nice jewelry boxes, and bowls. That Zebra Wood has some interesting grain. Sue better keep you around.

Judging from this piece, I’d venture that your “mistakes” are better than most people’s best work.

Now about that shameless promotion: It’s a nice looking site, and I love the name. But please tell me you don’t intentionally have it coded so that one can not use the “back” button to navigate away from your page. This is a pet peeve of mine when people do this and you can’t go back to where you were immediately before going to that site. :-(

“Sorry Charlie”, It must be your browser. It works great for me. I just tried it. I use Safari. Charlie, I just tried it with Firefox, and it worked great again. I love saying “Sorry Charlie”.

Your box is among the five best projects I’ve seen (in my opinion). And there are some fantastic projects here.

Odie, That’s one great looking box. I’ll bet your wife is really proud of it.

Back button works from Firefox, too.

This box is beautiful! I love the look of the double-double dovetail.

Why did I know “sorry Charlie” was coming? lol! That’s what I get for stubbornly sticking with Internet Explorer I suppose.

It’s about FUN ! Oh, by the way, Firefox is FREE, Karson and Charlie

Back doesn’t work on my version of Internet Explorer either. I go to history button and back around it.

Heck, I already have Firefox installed on my computer. I can’t remember why I don’t use it. :-)

Very nice box, Odie – while a good dovetail jig can really help make good joints, the final result depends on the user.

Regarding the website – the reason IE won’t back out of it is that the entry page automatically forwards you to a second page. http://web.mac.com/johnorsue/
forwards you to
http://web.mac.com/johnorsue/ODENHEIMERS_DUSTN_LINT/DUSTN_LINT.html
When you click “back” from the second page, you go to the page that automatically forwards you to the second page! In IE there is a little down arrow next to the back button. If you click that down arrow, it gives you a list of the last few pages you visited and you can skip past the auto-forward page.

Thank You Peter, makes perfect sense to me. Now there is an “Explorer Shameless promotion” that goes straight to the “MAC” address. Try that Charlie …

Nice box Odie. I have the Incra jig but haven’t tried that joint yet. I can barely do a good job with the ‘easier’ ones.

-- Paul D, Atlanta GA

Odie,

I really can’t see any reason why your wife would be anything less than ecstatic about your “mistake”. This is a beautiful box. Your execution with the Incra jig is simply outstanding. It is no wonder that you are featured on their site. This is truly a masterful piece. The finish is gorgeous as well.

On a 1 to 5 scale this one rates a 10 (and it is a mistake?????)

Thanks for the post.

wow that is amazing. your wife must be one happy person. i love the zebrawood and the dovetails are beautiful. great job and i look forward for more posts!

really nice job!

Thanks for the explanation, Peter. Now that I understand, I’m having one of those “duh” moments. (slapping self on forehead)

Hey Odie, I’ve been framing my mothers quited wall hangings for years, Throw some of those killer joints together around one of those beautiful quilts your wife makes, please, I won’t even ask for royalties. :)

Super looking box !! I like the way that you made your corners. The double double dovetails really add the class. Looks like there seperate from the rest of the box almost like a puzzle. Neat !

Have you heard of proud box joints using this technique?
I am a real fan of G & Greene and want to try it?

Wow, striking design, huge appeal with the grain and design, Well done sir!!!

-- Bob A in NJ

Outstanding box, I’m really glad that the Incra jig can actually make that joint that I see in the advertisements. Very impressive it is. Now I know what that joint is called. I’ll tell my brother, I know he wants to do it.

Wow, that’s nice… !!

All you Boxes look great. have you looked at the Chectnut Oak workbench I made, after wanted to build one for 35 years, It will weigh ABOUT 350 Pounds and has 173 Pieces of Chestnut Oak.

Beautiful jewelry box!

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

Why do they call it a double – double ? Isn’t it just a single – double dovetail ? Or is it because it is on the corners like that ?

That zebrawood is so beautiful and what you have created with it is even more beautiful ! Now all you have to do is keep buying the Mrs. pretty things to fill it with : )

Dear Dusty56,

What? and as far as the Mrs. goes …. she needs more boxes to fit all of that stuff.

I love it.

I was wondering if you could give a brief description of how you get the accent piece in the dovetail. If I had to guess I would say you route the dovetail, route a piece of stock for the accent to mate to the first dovetail, glue it up and then reroute the accent piece for the final dovetail.

Odie,
that is beautiful box. Something beyond my imagination how to do it.

-- Jiri

WOW, Just sat and admired. What a stunning piece. The craftsmanship, well, I dream of someday coming close to that.

Hi Odie, WOW, great looking box!! I have a question for you. Were can I get one of those halos? Are is that something God gives out to good people. lol

Odie, This is beautiful! WOW well done!
