Glacier Bay - Collectors Box

Wow Andy!! Count me in as a like…sometimes departing from standards opens up so many more possibilities and this box is stunning.
Really enjoy your work.

Your boxes are always creative, interesting and original Andy and it would be hard to not like this one. That said, the only person to really worry about liking it is the one who will be using it. Great work as always!

Another winner….
Oh… to have access to the Myrtle wood you use
It’s spectacular..

-- Bruce. a mind is like a book it is only useful when open.

Another great box Andy…I think you definitely made this work. Plus as an added bonus you can play Rorschach testing on the inside of that lid!! What do you see…a skier, a horse or Elaine Benis dancing!!

Beautiful piece, Andy, and I appreciate your run-down on your choices.

-- "Bordnerizing" perfectly good lumber for over two decades.

Nice Andy. Great shift from the art boxes. I certainly understand about getting bored with repetition. Your creativity will lead to lots more styles and lots more superb pieces I am sure.
For now, this one is just right.

Fantastic! Love it.

To have such rough looking wood, made to behave like you have done here is art.

Nice box, thanks for sharing.

-- Think safe, be safe

GORGEOUS BOX!

-- Wood rescue is good for the environment and me! just rjR

Beautiful box, Andy! It’s nice to see that your still making saw dust.

-- Dennis Zongker

A Beautiful box, the colors of the wood blend well together and the style compliments the choice of materials. In my opinion this box is a rousing success. The fans of rigid neoclassicism and streamlined modernism might not be impressed but you can’t please everyone.

Thanks for sharing.

Glacial job Andy. Very cool artic le.

-- Paul Allen

I’m happy to see another box of yours. And I appreciate everything you wrote. And as always, you find the most beautiful pieces of wood to work with and combine. I think both this design and your carved boxes are beautiful and have learned so much from you. Both construction methods appeal to different people, that’s what makes the world go-round. Gorgeous work, as always. And look forward to your next work of art!
ps- I’m with you on the hinges. I prefer the pin hinge and think the nice hinges are nice, yes, expensive if you want to do them right and a pain in the rear to get them right by hand! :)

Great looking box. It seems to be a little of new Andy and old Andy combined. Is that real buffalo hide ?

The wood for the top is something else. Great.
