Thought id show more of the box .
The finish is polycrylic, dovetailed and a floating top .
Again this was my first stab at carving letters on any box ive ever made …scary stuff but it came out alright .

Very nice! Are the dove tails hand sawn, or jig cut? Also what kind of chess peices reside in the box? I ask becuase I have been thinking about turning a set of chess pieces, but never seem to have the time.

the dovetails are made on a jig .4-1/4 Drueke wood chess pieces will reside in the box

Very nice piece of work Jimboe. I’ve been looking into trying my hand at letter carving. How did you find the experience?
