James that is a great looking box! That walnut is fantastic. You made two of these with the Rockler jig how was that experience?

How did out do the engraving?

I am sure those guys are going to appreciate these and the work that went into them.

I got lucky with the Rockler jig. Turns out half blinds are twice the challenge as through dovetails. I set it up perfect by accident.
The engraving was done with an Epilog laser machine. The ground safety shop happens to have one so I take full advantage.

Brother your stuff is looking really good. How do you like that jig? I've been thinking about getting the porter cable one, but I was also looking at the Rockler one as well.

The newest rockler jig looks awesome. This one is very basic. The new one has all the fancy templates for different spacings. And rockler is five miles from work so if I have questions or need new bits, its right there.

Nice looking box! I like the contrast and that grain in the walnut really pops! Did this McDonough serve in 2/1 STA plt back in the day, by chance?

He was with 3d MAW. I left the boxes unit generic because they EAS after just four years. It was their Marine Corps gift. Not from the MAG.

And the walnut was so beautiful. I wish I had used it for myself. Selfish I know. It was 11" wide and 10' long. Amazing grain.
