Those are beautiful! Kind of a rustic look and I love the legs.
Legs are simple. And versatile, lots of shapes. I like boxes that sit off the ground.
That has to be the most spectacular inside surface of a box lid I have ever seen!

I am back after spending about two weeks in Kona.
So here is todays box. This on has been hanging around for quite awhile. I believe this is a maple body with a spalted Maple top panel.

That lid is gorgeous. When I first saw it I was thinking some kind of ebony. I guess the lighting helped with that.

I stand corrected. That top panel is Spalted Spanish Beach. The inside trim is ebony.

Todays box style is one that was very popular. I have made quite a few of them using yellow heart. This time I used Holly for the body and bloodwood for the heart. The issue I had with this one was the Holly greyed out a bit.
Love your boxes! Keep them coming!

Thanks for asking for more. For the darker side of boxes; I have one like that has an ebony heart. I just can't find any pictures of it.
So...you say Spanish but I see Scotish...... Either way, European beech.

I just finished this Holly and Walnut box.
The top tray lifts out and the bottom dividers are permanent. I didn’t add liner to the box as I wanted to show the beauty of the woods.
it is 9.75”x7”x3” tall overall.

We shall add you to the wood after hall of fame once we get round to making it. Those are so good.

Thank you but you are looking at a picture. If it was in your hands; you might think differently. I can see three issues on that box from the picture that make it a nice looking box but no hall of fame.
We all see things in our own work that others can’t see. I think that some of your boxes certainly deserve the title. Some won’t but some will.
