It’s been a long time since I have played that game. Man If I had thought to make card boxes like this I might have kept my collection.

Bring that to a tournament. Great work.

The beautiful but simple box is not easy to achieve. But, you have a contender here.

-- Ben L

That is very pretty; it reminds me of a colonial candle box. I have a picture of one of the originals.

Thank you everyone for the nice comments
its spalted oak not maple

Did you do stopped dados for the box bottom grooves? I’m in the process of making one now and I’m trying to figure out the best way.
