Over the last few months I have made quite a few boxes. I would like to post some of my work and get some feed back on them. Please criticize them. If this is ok for this forum; please let me know. Thanks.

Here is one of my favorite boxes. I was looking for some wood in the shop and I saw an odd block of Maple. I tossed it on the table saw and cut a slice off both sides and ends. I added a quilted Maple top panel and a tiger striped bottom panel. I wanted it to stand up off the table so I spent a huge amount of time trying to get the legs just right. At one point after the glue up the wood moved and it went out of square but a bit of sanding and all was good. The hinges are from brusso. I then did a french polish on it.
Very nice
Sharp looking box, Rick!
Have you ever considered using figured woods in any of your boxes?

Thanks, I would have posted a couple more photos but I am still learning how to post photos.
As far as figured wood; I have a lot. Most of it is Maple. Some I had milled, some was given to me from a friend and recently I went to pick up a couple of bark side quilted maple pieces and ended up with my truck bed full to the top of quilted maple, spalted maple, and some pacific yew.

Here is another figured Maple Box. This one is made from all Maple Burl including the lid.
Wow. Just wow. That live edge makes the whole box so special.
