being proud of your work and bragging are different things. In this case, you should definitely be proud. Did you subject the cherry to sunlight already? It has such great color.

HokieMojo,
The cherry was obtained at an estate sale about 3 years ago. There were 9 12” wide, 9’ long 5/4 boards that I got for a bid of 35 dollars total. I believe they were stored outside for a number of years.

Thanks for the comment.

You should be proud of yourself, this is an incredibly well made box! I love it when my girls say, “dont buy it, Dad can build it!”

Hey ! If you don’t want to brag on it, I will. Just send it my way and I’ll tell everyone what a great job I did on it. Now what she needs, is, some nice Osage kitchen utensils to go in it. I think Osage utensils are about as rare among spoon makers as it comes. I’m not sure who makes utensils from Osage besides me, at least I haven’t seen any. If anyone knows of someone that has a line of Osage utensils, please direct them my way.
Would you give up your plans for the chest and how to make it? John
