Cherry/Holly Recipe box

That’s really nice. I haven’t done inlays yet, I’m sure it’s coming.

I like those diamond shaped pieces on the corners, really add interests to it’s opening.

Very cool box!

Nice looking box. I like the inlay. The triangualr handle and hinges look great. An interesting design element.

You have outdone yourself! The whole design is great. But those hinges make it!!

Cool design on the hinges and handle. Beautiful grain on that cherry.

JKP, it looks like you have done everything right on this build. The proportions are not bad, the hinges are a good idea, and the inlays are skillfully done, match, and add interest. The lift is a nice thematic match with the hinges. The finish that you have applied looks smooth and does a nice job of accenting the cherry’s grain. So how come you didn’t put a finish on the inside? I don’t get it. Looks like you are ready to try inlays that do more than bisect the spaces. Nice job on this. Keep boxing and keep posting.

I agree with everything that has already been stated.
A beautiful box. I think the design is exceptional, the inlays are nice and minimal and the triangular lift and hinge features outstanding.
Unique

the box size is perfect as is the inlay. choice of wood is again great but the inlay and the hinges and handle
make for a distinctive and unique work to be proud of
