This is a nice box and I really like the figure in the lid.
Well done.

Love the top and of course the top makes the box. But what’s going on with the hinge. I’ve made a few (2) boxes and I have a hard time getting them to only open up to….less say 100 degrees. They always want to fall all the way back. I know there are $15.00 hinges that can correct this but I’m building $10.00 boxes with $30.00 hinges and that seems a bit odd. But you seem to have a way of correcting this. It looks like the hinge is cut into the back by 1/8” or so, and not a the bitter end of the cover. I can’t understand what’s going on. I can see you have the hinge attached to the cover about 1/4 / 3/16” from the end. Have you bent the hinge for this to work properly?

Dominic,
I will try to explain. The back side of the box is 3/8” shorter than the front and ends.
The 8 ” hinge is mounted to this lower side on the box w/ filler blocks on each end.
The lid has a 8” x 3/8’ x 5/16” + or – strip glued to it for the hinge to mount to.
This allows the hinge/mounting strip to flush out with the top of the sides and front of the the box in the closed posistion.
I bought this hinge @ Lowes for less than $3.00.
The lid of the box over hangs the box so when in the open posistion the lid rest on the back side of the box and limits the opening to what you se in the photo. Hope this makes sense and helps.

Handsome box, with a great story. Including that bit of wild timber was a fine idea, really setting this box off.
