Thanks doc, I am way upstate. 4 hour from the coast. It has not been that bad so far, just a bit of wind.

It looks amazing, very well done.

Beautiful!!!! very creative. You will be working for a while to fill it up!!

Beautiful, My opinion here, Such a great piece and it deserves better pulls, they just don’t fit in… That is just me though….. They just look out of place….I looked again…... same thoughts…

Dido Gshepherd. It’s an amazing box, but I agree that the pulls look out of place. Love the inlay work.

Wrench, I like your design. The flying ends are interesting. The inlay is a real eye catcher. You have put a lot of thought into this project and it shows. I have some questions and a suggestion.

What is the circular part for? How do the hinges work? The rope pulls may be out of an oriental tradition I am not familiar with, but they don’t seem to add to the design in my view.

When I first looked at this I thought it was a chest of drawers. If you add the rough dimensions to your posting it helps readers get a better idea of what you have made.

This is nice design and will store a ton of jewelry. It was fun to see. Thanks for sharing this with us. Keep boxing and keep posting.

Possibly using a tounnge shaped pull in a neutral color would simulate the idea of the rope, keeping with the asian theme? Sandy ain’t over til she’s over? Hope my boxes or even cabinets will have your creativity in them. LOL!

Thanks guys, I am entering it into a contest Thursday. I will be thinking about the rope and will try to figure out a change. As always thank you all for your inspirational comments and great advice! boxguy the circular part is just for that Asian look. The hinges are drilled out and a dowel was inserted and caped off on the ends. The thing is huge 44” wide, about 12” deep and tall.

I really like that, what a great design. I bet that was fun to build! I’m okay with the rope drawer pulls, the variation of texture and color fits the design, in my opinion.

Great box! I am especially taken with the legs. I agree with Boxguy regarding the rope pulls, but there is so much to like about the design and your craftsmanship.
