Figured Myrtlewood and Jatoba

That is really nice…! Whatever your daughter ends up getting as a wedding gift, be it this box or something else will be a great treasure.

Very nice!

I am eager to see what does get the ‘nod’! Excellent use of the wood- the Jotoba frames the Myrtlewood very well.

-- Robert, so much inspiration here, and now time to work!!!

Nicely done.

Another real beauty Andy. You are really getting the Jerry hinge down well….what a great design detail. And of course the wood and finish…..great!

I too am curious to see what your daughter ends up with!

WOW Andy not only did you do a great job, but that wood is outstanding. :)

-- It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

very beautiful andy, a very clean cut box with some awesome wood used that top is really striking, if and when i get back in the shop i have some boxes to do and want to start using this hinge, great job.

Terrific work. You did great justice to a beautiful piece of wood.

Thanks for all the positive comments.

The ‘alternate wedding box’ has been fighting me a bit but I think I’m winning (I didn’t pick easy woods).

Robert, It too has one of your gifts incorporated in it.

You sure do make some nice looking boxes…..I’m going to have to get in a boat and come down and get some lessons one of these days! Hope you aren’t floating away down there. Jim
