Very Nice Ted,

Like you I have been planning a bunch of boxes at some point in the future (probably when the ‘good scraps’ bin overflows :).

Cheers,

Very nice box, I like it.
The maple trim accentment on the lid was nicely done. The choice of wood and colour was great that really pops up.
Sincerely: Do you have reason for putting the trim on the inside face of the lid?

Take care and work safe.

Very nice, I love the box. Boxes are very nice projects to brush up your skills and small enough that it is fun too.

Thanks for sharing.

Hey, thanks for all the comments! I don’t believe I ever got as much satisfaction from woodworking as I do now because of LJ! It makes you feel just like a kid showing off a new toy! :)

Woodworm, in addtion to adding the trim because it is pleasing to the eye Padauk has a tendancy to bleed and stain. I figure that over time this would mar the inside of the box.
