Those are truly beautiful. You did a wonderful job carving those initials. They’re going to be treasured for years.

Thanks. I stained panels with wiping stain. Sprayed the boxes with a formula of acetone 50%, brushing lacquer 33% and lacquer thinner 17%. Then rubbed and waxed.

Good look and excellent design. I really like these. I also like the way you did the lid. A gap for no smashed fingers. Was that planned? Just beautiful, good job!

Thank you. Yes that gap was important to the deign. It was basically frame and panel construction. I like the way the soft close hinges add to the safety.
