A Box For My Niece

WOW
What a beautiful and well made box .
She will love you forever and I would have liked to see her when you presented it to her.
There are no better moments in live .
Neat idea for the timing belt application .

Peter,
Another really nice one. I very much admire your sense of detail and design. Very nice work indeed. Can’t wait to see the next one!

That came out lovely. I like how the striped banding has perfect continuous spacing even as it wraps around the corners (pic 4), and the adjustable inside compartment is very nice.

Another work of art. Peter, please don`t tell me you made these hinges too . . .they must be Brusso or equivalent !

Glad to hear that others make mistakes too. I suspect everyone does and that the true sign of craftsmanship is how well one recovers from them. You did pretty well I`d say.

Great job! I believe the mark of great woodworker is how they deal with adversity. That’s a very interesting use of a timing belt.

Thanks for posting,

Each box you post is fancier than the previous one (and you have 3 more waiting!). No one would ever know this box had any errors in construction or finish. It is beautiful!

Great job Peter. Nice design, and the timing belt concept is quite creative. I know what you mean about the detail work with French Polish – I’d have likely taken the same approach. Really nice work.

Very nice. I’m sure she is a happy gal.

Great design and wood combination. I love it!
