Ema's First box

Cherry is fun to work with, isn’t it?

The lid is glued to the top frame, right? Are you concerned about the top wood expanding in the Summer, and breaking away? Or is it small enough that you can get away with it? I’d like to do some boxes that way,but I’ve never had the guts. I also set the top in as a floating panel, or just make the top out of one piece.

Beatiful box, nice inlay work.

-- Martin ....always count the number of fingers you have before, and after using the saw.

Ema is a lucky little girl to have such a nice treasure box with her initial on it!

Very nice. As a kid I had a GI Joe footlocker (box) that I liked. I think there is a box “market” for boys too.

Great job! The finish looks like I could just reach out and tough it. Love the looks of paste wax.
