Christmas Boxes 2014

really nice set. Love the wood and the way the legs are styled.

Beautiful work. I really like your designs. I’m sure the recipients loved them!!

I love the legs! Not just an ordinary box for sure.

-- Skill and confidence are an unconquered army.

Great looking boxes you built. Is that your kitchen…sure looks nice

-- Larry in Hawaii,

Those are beautiful boxes.

Beautiful looking boxes with complimentary woods. All great but the box in picture 3 is my personal favourite. I expect the receipients will greatly appreciate them.

-- No one plans to fail, they just, just fail to plan

They are all beautiful Rob. But the figured maple/lacewood box really “pops.” The inlay on the lid is a very nice touch. Just a spectacular box all around. I favorited this project because I’d like to something like it.

-- "People's lives are their own rewards or punishments."

Nice boxes! I love the legs on all of them, and the inlays are nice too!

Ditto on all the compliments. Can you share how you did the legs. I would like to try making some legs like yours.

-- Someday I will be more than a sawdust wisperer

I like those variations of shapes and colours. They are lovely.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. Manasseh, the legs are fairly easy. Glue up 4 pieces with miter joints on the long grain forming a square long enough to get as many legs as needed. Cut in half with the grain and cut both halves again so you have 4 angles. Shape with band saw and sanding (lots of sanding). Make sure the box corner makes good contact with the legs and glue on. I also fill in the portion of the leg under the corner of the box.

Those are beauties! I know there are 4 happy happy folks out there.
