Great looking box.

Lovely wood on the lid.. great looking box.

Another lovely little box. As a fellow fly fisherman, this one leaps up on the interest scale! Working in very small scale is a talent you seem to have in abundance. This box also makes me want to look seriously for a project to use the mazur birch veneer I have on the shelf. :-)

Great use of materials, that’s beautiful…................

Very nice!

The lid looks very fluid just like a stream with boulders and eddie currents. Nice selection of wood.

Thanks. That’s why I like to use this veneer on items that have a “fishy” context. It certainly makes me think of flowing and broken water.

Yep. In your piece of veneer, I can see a Coho, a Sockeye, and a Chinook and even a Rainbow awaiting the roe in the gravel there. Those dowel splines are a nice touch also. How about the “ring of the rise” in this box lid? I didn’t make this box but it is what inspired me toward box making. I have a piece of Walnut with a similar “ring” awaiting a future box – probably a box for a collectible reel like your recent post. Thanks for the inspiration.

What a beautiful piece of wood – absolutely perfect for a fish related box. You couldn’t simulate something like that even if you tried. Looking forward to seeing what your walnut piece turns out like.

Hey Dusty,

You have a following now for your trout box project. Look forward to seeing your project completed.

Cheers

very nice… maybe too nice for a lure box on a fishing trip. You gave me an idea of what to do with a few old lures and related fishing stuff I have collected.
