Red Gum Box

Wow – that is some fantastic looking boxes. I really like the River Red Gum and Myrtle. Excellent craftsmanship and I like the Pay it Forward concept.

Like all the boxes, but am especially fond of the figured Red Gum (how about interior shots and hinge details) and the splined Oak box. The finger holes are really nice. Good show and good Karma Rob.

Welcome from another “downUnderer” who loves makin boxes.

By the look of what you’ve shown us so far you’ve got a whole lot more to offer, I look forward to seeing more of your work published on this LJ’s Forum.

Great work, and bless you for doing something wonderful for someone in need!

Nice set of boxes, really like the red gum like everyone, but that middle one glows. Very Christian thing you’re doing buddy. It always comes back to us 10 fold. jockmike

Great looking boxes!

And, yes, we would love for you to give us details as to how you made them. I have learned alot here on this forum by others who have been kind enough to do that. Thanks in advance!

That Red Gum is beautiful. Great work on your boxes. I’ll be looking for more and now I am getting worked up to make more of my version of plane boxes.

I too would love the details on how you made them. Great work!

very nice boxes, yes, do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

the rewards for doing this will be much greater than money

Beautiful wood choices and great craftsmanship add up to wonderful pieces Rob. Stunning work. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Rob, Mate, great work – you already know I just love small wooden boxes, so it won’t be a surprise when I say these are terrific.

Hi everyone,
Thank you for the warm welcome and flattering comments. I have complied a work in progress for one of the boxes I have made and will post that maybe tomorrow. I will include all aspects of construction and finishing.

Thanks again,

Rob
