I agree, that is a beautiful design and a beautiful box.

Very nice.

Looks great. Good idea making the prototype… which also looks good.

Beautifully done. I like the brass tab for the lid lift.

And, at first I thought the candles were part of the project – the camera angle got me!

Love the depth of the Walnut, Absolutely love the feet, and rounding the sides with a plane is off the hook. nice work.

Excellent work. But have you thought about finishing the interior? It needs a felt liner &/or a tray &/or a lid mirror, just something, to finish it off. The outside makes a beautiful promise that the bland interior fails to deliver. Perhaps a medallion on the underside of the lid? Very good work though.

I see a thin dark line around the top of the base. It’s a great detail, but it can’t quite figure what it is. Did you sandwich a thin layer or is it a groove, or … ?

Walnut is so pretty. I accent the variegated features. Nice stuff.

Very clean box.
I really like how the rounded box portion sits on the base.
They go together perfectly.
Great finish, both inside and out.
