I have to admint I have Never, ever seen bird’s eye pine…. Looks great! where did you find it?

Scott, I see the sheepdog now, that’s funny stuff… Too bad it’s not Jesus, I could sell it on eBay and pay off my car loan. Chris, I bought two pieces of birdseye pine on eBay maybe 8 years ago, they were 1×12x38 and highly figured. I had never seen it before either.

Yeah, it’s like cloudgazing. We’ve got faces in the woodwork around the house, a bear in the bathroom floor, an ape in the dining room, happy to discover my daughter stares at her ceiling and has her own pictures in the beadboard… haven’t seen Jesus in the woodwork either. LOL.

Nice box, excellent choice of contrasting woods.

Great box… awesome find and wonderful use of the wood. I see the dog in there too! And to think someone would look at wood like you used and say to themselves… “yucky knot” and toss it. Not us! On a recent hike with our two boys, my wife noticed I was repeatedly commenting about spalting I was seeing on fallen trees. Well after a comment I made on an exceptional specimen (IMHO) that I wanted to lash down onto my back and hike out of the forest with said, “You can take the man out of his workshop, but you can’t take the workshop out of the man.” (No offence ladies please!). She’s my girl! ‘Guess I’m a LumberJock! :)

Nice box. I know what it’s like to have candy on hand for the grandkids when they come over, makes you wonder which they like more? mmmm…..

Very nice box. Your mother will be proud. I have never seen Birdseye pine before. Thanks for sharing.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

thought it was a bunny with a cute little bunny tail

great box. Definitely not too busy…. and perhaps a gift certificate for candy would be a good idea for inside it :)

Well done! (I bet there will be a tear in Mom’s eye when she gets this!)

You don’t see “birdseye” pine very often. Looks good.

Very cool. Don’t see birdseye pine very often (in fact, the first time I’d ever seen it is on 3 boards I have sitting in my shop). Now I’ve seen it finished, and its making me want to get on with my project!

nice work. =)

Nice box! Yep. Looks like a sheepdog to me too…

I’ve never seen birdseye pine before either. I like it!

That is a sweet box. Sweet sentiment also.
