Second "Dallas" Box

On payday, I’ll see if I can send more… That’s just plumb purdy!

They’re really nice. Your joints look perfect. I gotta work on those.

Andy, you have become a box-making-fool. And a darned good one. Your variations are supurb. I like the combinations of wood. Keep it up dude.

Andy, your box just can’t get any pertier, or can they?

I agree, you are doing amazing work! I love your hinge work…the detail you put into it!

That’s a neat look. Really good work

You should call these rock of ages with those tight joints. The red bands are a treat and I think you could have put the bark side up it looks so good.

Thanks again for all the kind words. Gene- I would have definately put the bark side up had I known it would look and feel this good. It’s my favorite facet of the entire box.

Andy,

Lots to like about this look. My favorite parts are the inside of the lid and the end grain of the oak. Nice job on the joinery too.

Andy…another really fantastic piece of art. Your work is always getting nicer and nicer. I like the wood combinations and you sure picked two very hard and heavy woods to work with.
Keep em’ coming…

If I were a kid I would say this project looks “sweet”. Since I’m not, I’ll just say it looks great. Great box…......

Completely agree, the live oak is an interesting wood. Looks great with the other woods you used in combination. Very nice box.

Very awesome Andy. Your box joints are superb, and so are your box projects. Nice wood combos also.
