Nice looking box Matthew .
I like the wood combination that you used and the joint between the lid and bottom looks great the way you did it .I would be interested to know how you cut the pattern .
As for the pattern for the lid I think you where thinking of this box

Klaus,

Actually it was the other one that I saw. I like the one you just posted, but I never saw that one.

As for how I cut it. I simply marked the center and used a v-groove bit at the router table. Ran it through all four sides, then moved the fence 20 mm for each cut.

Thanks for the kind words.

Matt,

great looking box with all the right combinations. I see Klaus has inspired many of us with his designs, myself included.

Awesome box. Second only to the box I am contemplating in my head. Which will end up in the burn box. Again fabulous design and great proportions.
