Jatoba and Zebrawood With Wooden Hinges

Nice box once again Andy. I know those little things we as woodworkers notice, but from the photos I don’t see the crack so nice job fixing it.

I do need to try those hinges sometime. I like the way they look. and the shape of them seem like they could be anything.

Great box Andy…I don’t notice the crack in the Zebrawood but we all notice every miniscule defect in our own projects. Your boxes are progressively getting nicer and nicer.

You’re way to quick to point out your flaws. Beautiful box.

-- Mother Nature created it, I just assemble it. - It's not ability that we often lack, but the patience to use our ability

this is a really beautiful little box, the combo’s of wood are really good together, i dont see the crac k your talking about , so it looks good from here…which is several thousand miles, so maybe that is why i cant see it….but over all its a really nice box, i thought you were banned from box making…lol…...maybe your significant other has not seen your latest project…maybe you called this a chest or a bowl…lol…...

Some More expensive wood?? With defects. They must have seen this country boy coming with money in hand!! the design is working in many different types of woods. I bought some Zebra wood recently for $12.00 a BF and thought I was splurging. I like the half lap joints in the lid, but I think I will stay with mitered corners. Just easier for me.

-- Robert, so much inspiration here, and so little time!

Andy, I believe you’re starting to show off ! ha, ha.

You’ve got “pretty” shooting out of that box about six different ways !

Robert, My half lap method is easier for me than miters but the reason I went to these was Concern over wood movement from trapping these solid panels in my lids. The half laps should be MUCH stronger than miters. Right???

Andy, I have no argument about half laps being stronger. I simply ‘hope’ the panel is too small for significant movement!! Time will tell. The half lap looks good, I’m too lazy to change.

-- Robert, so much inspiration here, and so little time!

What crack, that’s a design element. This box looks great, and the finish is spot on, nicely done.

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

That’s a mighty fine box, as always, Andy. I like everything about it… What crack.. We are our worst judges

they’re all great, Andy!

This one is for wood lovers! Really nice.
