more boxes for show

nope monte, sap wood with walnut is good, glad to see you got some, was wondering if you were going to get any or not, does walnut even grow in your state…it does grow here but they dont get real large in diameter, but do get pretty tall, ive got quite a few here close to me, i think it will only take one to give me all the walnut i would need, ill tell you what, if i cut one down, you come to visit and ill share some with ya…not sure when that will happen…but if you come i would make it worth your trip…until then , keep cutting that oak…

Nice boxes, and sap wood is wood. Right? These look nice with the natural edges. I tried to see how you did the hinges, but you kept them well hidden.

Very Nice Monte!! Very nice!!

Very interesting looking boxes. I like the roughness of them.

Good job..any wood box is a good wood box!

I like the sap wood. It’s part of what makes walnut beautiful. I drive my lumber guy crazy. He shows me these uniform colored straight grain boards and I am like “so where is you burn pile?” LOL

I get some of the prettiest pieces that way.

Back to your boxes, I really like them. This live edge lids are great and the sap is so white. Great job. I am going to add it to my favorites and get you that extra vote.

Those are some very nice boxes Monte. I use the sapwood all the time. Looks great.

-- Backer boards, stop blocks, build oversized, and never buy a hand plane--

I think the sapwood is a nice touch, especially when it has not been steamed and is nice and white like yours.

I love the rustic look. They could have been made a long time ago and I don’t mind the sapwood at all!

Congrats on the Top 3 thingy! In a pinch I use clothes hanger wire for hinge pins (3/32” drill hole, I think).

I like the natural color of the wood. Very extra ordinary. You deserve to be in the daily top 3. Keep it going.
