”This is very nicely done, Gene. It’s an unusual box.”

Thanks for the compliment, helluvawreck.
Been making boxes of this style for over 30 years. A buddy and I were just playing around in his shop when we came up with the design. Well, one similar, anyway. He said that they weren’t boxes but “negative space enclosures”. :-) But then he was an English Lit professor!
