I've been dabbling with Greene and Greene techniques and features for boxes about a month now. I really enjoy it. I have also made a number of boxes using the Shou Sugi Ban techniques. So I decided to experiment making a box incorporating both these techniques. I started my making a box out of Pine and Cedar with box finger joints first as shown. This is a dry fit. No glue yet. I then started "pillowing" the finger ends Next I loosely tacked on a plug to see how it would look. I decide to take the risk and move forward. So I bought square hole punches from Lee Valley. Once I got the punches, I started making square holes as shown on all four corners of the box. It was alot of work. I Shou Sugi Ban burned the Top (lid) Here's a view showing the brass hinges installed. Note how the box is contoured to lift the box off the surface. This is called a "cloud lift" There are several variations of this G&G technique. Here's a corner shot Here's the box open with my gent saw placed in it. Hope you liked it. Thanks for looking! Cheers!! MrRick
