I had never heard of bark pocket maple before, but I really like the look if it in these great boxes. I am going to keep my eyes open for some. The walnut is a lovely contrast and I always favor things that show off beautiful wood.

Very beautiful piece. I like the attention to detail.

Wonderful boxes and brilliantly designed lids that look very original to me. Well done! Who knew ogres could also excel at woodworking?

Big Ogre,

Nice boxes. They have a pagoda feel to them. Interesting choice to put two splines only at the top. I would have liked to see the inside as well. I take it that the lids are not hinged. How did you shape the tops?

Telling us the size helps readers get a feel of the scale of your work. You can always edit your post and add that if you wish.

Your photographic skills are really moving forward. Nice job on that as well. This post really shows your excellent box making skills to good advantage.
