Mix & Match

Very nice!

-- As my momma said " all else fails... read the distructions"

Very cool.

-- Power to the people.

I like the wood choices. The corner detail looks very different but nice as well as strong. To me, the hinges look a little blocky for the length of the box. Maybe more pins? Of course, I have never made any. Overall a very nice use of 7 kinds of scrap.

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

Great work, like the hinges.

Very nice and a lot of different techniques involved. Love the hinges and although they may be a little blocky, they do bring your eyes to them. I really like the way you used the oak as the corners too. A very nice build and a great way to clean up some left-overs. Good job.

The box just screams…....”Pick me up! Open me!”

You don’t see half lapped lid frames often but it works and I’m going to have to try it someday

It is an unusual assembly of wood, design, and joinery. It really works.

I really like the hinges – add a nice decorative touch to the top as well as being functional!

-- Kay - Just a girl who loves wood.

Great job, I like mixing a lot of wood species myself. It can get busy or disjointed but you did a fantastic job of bringing into into harmony.

The wooden hinges are a nice touch. I have said it about 1000 times, I really need to try that.

Thanks for sharing you cut offs with us.

Looks great!!! I love the way the hinges sit on top of the lid insead of hiding the awesome workmenship you did on them! keep it up
