Nicely Done Joey… a great looking box. I am sure your cousin will love it.

I really like your combination of woods. Compliment each other.

For some reason this first picture makes it look out of square. I promise it’s square.

Looks really great Joey. I like the medallion…it idds a nice look. The Padauk plug in the back also adds a nice touch.

Thanks,

@Greg, I really wanted to use this piece of wood, but didn’t know what I wanted to do with the knot so I made it the back of the box. I plugged it with the padauk later on and now I wish I had used it for the front because I really like how it looks. That’s how it goes sometimes.

Nice work, love all the color contrast should age just wonderfully…thank for the post…BC

Prety cool box. I like the top.

Now that you mention the squareness…

Thanks everyone,

I really don’t know why that first picture looks so out of whack. I should probably try to get another photo of it, but I think it will be all right.

I really like everything about this one but I am really impressed with the PERFECT fit of the medallion. How do you achieve that fit? Any concerns that wood movement will spread the miter joints on the Jatoba ‘frame’ around the lid?

that is a perfect box for keeping the babys things in, i think each person born should have there own box, and then when your life comes to an end, put yourself into the box as well…...hey…the idea sounds good…lol…..but you did another fantastic job…...boxes are just way to fun, im about to finish one myself…it comes soon…

I like this one best the way you showed the grain. And I REALLY like the Padouk plug in the knot hole on the back panel. Details like that make it special.

You may have the lens set for wide angle, otherwise the box looks great even if it does not look square!

Joey, what a fun project especially when you think about what the box will hold. I am sure that your cousin will treasure your gift forever!

Thanks for sharing
