David,

This is an excellent box. You used a nice variety of woods in this as well. The rosewood accent and birdseye maple make a nice contrast.

Thanks for the post.

Nice David, you have me wanting to go to the shop and start another box – but it’s 11:30 p.m. and my neighbors probably would not be happy. I enjoy seeing your work, thanks for sharing with us.

Great looking box. You make such nice and precise corners, too. Do you have a special jig for those?

God Bless,

Thanks for all the comments. I cut my mitre joints using a Nobex mitre saw – it gives accurate results first time. The mitres for the lid trim are sanded using a simple jig on a disc sander.
