A New Design For Me

That is truly beautiful. The wood, the construction, everything!

What a magnificent box Andy. You have outdone yourself until the next outdone you do…

Gotta love figured maple and walnut !!

-- Carl, Iowa

Great work! I love the contrast of the maple against the walnut.

-- I make lots of dust, everything else is just a byproduct of the dust making process!...Frank,NJ

That’s a great looking box Andy!

-- Ron Wilson - maker of fine firewood!

Andy well done and an excellent finish. I believe you have done his gift justice.

Andy, you done good.
You showed the wood the respect it deserves.

nice work andy

you got to use lots of techniques
and bring them all together well

those inside rabbeted corners
came out really well
hard to get the panel that tight to the radius corner

very well done

Uh huh.
You have been flattering me so much over the project I’m working on, telling me how great it is, only to pull out this masterpiece. You’re reminding me of some old pool sharks I used to run around with.
Great piece. Masterfully done.

No question about it, you certainly “produced something worthy”!!! A fantastic looking box. Nicely done. That wood ain’t bad either.

Your wood combination makes me crave a “Maple/Walnut” sundae!!!

-- Randy-- I may not be good...but I am slow!

Andy – what a great box…...nice details, the hinges, the mitered half lap joints (and the really cool inside corners) and the pins in the top…...wow. You did this right…..

-- Jeff - I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

Andy, that is outstanding. I love the woods and your design. I don’t have time to type anything else, I have to go back and look at those pics again.

Thanks guys. I tried extra hard on this one as I didn’t want Jeff to think his gift was wasted. William- I’ll trade ya!

Very nice !

Well done Andy.
I too focused in the nicely matched radii in the inside, but the whole box is just a fine piece of work with some lovely material.
Nice to see you getting into thinner material.
Veneering can’t be far away. ;-)
