Loved the pivot hinges for the top… adds character and functionality. Beautiful wood grain and color, the finish is impressive looks smooth as glass. Love the graceful arches and lines in this piece including the beveled lid. On the side panels, did you just shape those by hand ?

INSPIRATIONAL….as are all of your projects, Dewayne. Thank you so much!

Nice box, the lines are perfect, and what a great mix of woods.

Thanks for sharing.

Great design with simple, yet well placed design features. I like the way the lid lift rests in the front panel arch. Typical approach is a notch, but the arch is something I haven’t noticed before on other boxes.

Well done Dewayne!

Very attractive piece.
Is the lid actually going inside the box or is it barely catching the sides and front?

The profile of the sides was created at the table saw buy running the stock threw on edge and the blade tilted to 9 degrees. Same method for the components of the lid but with different angles.
