Hey Spaids – Nice Job Welcome to LumberJocks – about the Box how easy does that Mullbery wood sand? Does it cut easily? I think you might corner the Aisian Market LOL. Best of luck!

Don’t we all ??? (Show the good side.) Nice box just the same

Did you cut the joints on the table saw or router?

Very nice. I still haven’t tried my hand at a box joint.

Nice job, not bad at all. The joints look very good. That’s one big order of fries though…

Hi Spaids,

From what I can see it looks pretty good. Even though they may look fairly simple boxes can be somewhat complex to build. You obviously have hit the ground running.

Go for it.

Good job on the box Spaids. I like the way your photos show the different phases of your project. Nice work.

Great job! Have you used Mulberry before? I have some Mulberry boards and was told the will really darken after exposed to the sun.

Welcome to LJ”s, hope you enjoy as much as I do. The box joints look excellent with nice tight joints. Great job.

Thanks for sharing, I saved the same article and in the process of making a jig for box joints. Nice joint!

Wow lots of comments here… Thanks for the feed back. So as far as working with Mulberry goes, I really can’t say if its easy to work with or not as I have so little experience with anything. I would guess that it was easy to work with as I couldn’t complain and it sanded easily.

I did the joint on the table saw with a 1/4 inch dado.

When I initially picked up the Mulberry it was very dark. I milled it down and was very surprised at how light it was under the skin.

And honestly… That corner close up pic is the best of the four. You can see my learning curve as you turn the box from one corner to the next.

Excellent first box joint box, even if that is the good side. I like the hardware you used for the top.
