Well worth the effort. A beautiful piece of workmanship.

Beautiful craftsmanship.

Beautiful box, Don. I like the lack of bold contrast between the woods….gives it an understated elegance. Great craftsmanship and design.

Excellent build Don,I’m sure you make Charles proud. This is good evidence that Charles “mastering woodworking “program works.

Impressive. I bought the DVD, but I’m still on the chair building DVD by Charles. Did you get materials from Big Bob?

Let Charles know. Like Jim said it would make him smile!

Fantastic box. How do you go about shaping the sides, and sanding to such a high polish on all those gnarly curves? Seems extremely difficult (though worth the effort, given these results).

That’s a very lovely box indeed. I wish my boxes would turn out as well as this one.

DocSavage- I will send a picture to Charles. I bought this DVD as part of his “wounded warriors” project. I watched the DVD, then made sketches, then used wood I already had to make the box.

bobasaurus – The DVD from Charles Neil taught me a tremendous amount. I learned how to rough cut the sides using a table saw in cove molding type setup and then finished rounding with a hand plane. The finish is 4 coats of Arm-R-Seal rub on oil and urethane coating.

Great! I’m sure Charles will be pleased. I attempted to use my blog to encourage people to buy the DVD as Charles’ and Sherry are I believe still contributing about 1/3rd the price to the Wonded Warriors Project.

I’ve got the DVD but just finished the chair building DVD which has “EVERYTHIN” i NEEDED TO KNOW about chair building even though I had done some research and reading.

Your work is a fine example of great effort and craftsmanship on your part and very much a tribute to Charles’ teaching. And he does this for a living.

wonderful 5 out of5 stars and i am sure there will be more contrast if you put it in sunlight to make the cherry turn red
