Thank you for taking your time to share this lovely box with us!" Masonsailor was awarded the badge 'Great Content' and 20 points. I’m still waiting for the laminated door verticals to cure so I thought I would make a box for my daughter. It’s an easy build using one pattern and the shaper origin. I used 1/2” SOSS barrel hinges for the lid. Paul Headhunter, Artie, p_toad and 8 others 7 4 Quote

HandyDan Posted January 26, 2024 Report Posted January 26, 2024 Elegant box Paul. End grain on the sides sure is different. Love it. Larry Buskirk, HARO50, Grandpadave52 and 1 other 4 Quote

Masonsailor Posted January 26, 2024 Author Report Posted January 26, 2024 Thanks for all the comments The Sapele is so hard and closed grain that the end grain is almost as pretty as the long grain. I’m not that happy with the SOSS barrel hinges but I have a bag of them from a long time ago and figured I should start using them up. They are so deep that it prevents any profile other than what you see or maybe a very slightly larger round over. I’m going back to a nicely fitted lid with no hinges.

Grandpadave52 Posted January 26, 2024 Report Posted January 26, 2024 Excellent Paul. Love the personalized detail on the lid. I'm sure she'll cherish it. Gerald, HARO50 and Cal 3 Quote
