Great looking boxes Charlie. I like what you did with offsets on the tops and how you did your corners very nice.

Charlie,
Nice little boxes. Attractive design, nice wood, nice workmanship.

I am always attracted to this kind of small box, just don’t seem to find time to spend on them. I don’t pre-finish any parts, but withholding the inlay until after finishing makes things easier if the inlay cannot be sanded (I will post one done just this way in a week or so). Very small sanding blocks also help. I don’t use a buffing system, but I see the problem. My solution has been to just add more time. :-)

Nice work.

Great boxes, Charlie. Curly maple and walnut – probably the best combination of wood there is! These little boxes look very nice – you did a wonderful job! I particularly like the way you offset the top pieces to create the “swirl” effect you mentioned. Will have to try that sometime.
