Good work Monty. I like the natural edge on the lid. It certainly looks like Elm to me.

nice box monte, the wood hinges give it a classy “antique” look.

Nice job on this. I like the grain of the wood and what you have done with it. You are getting better and better. Keep on keepin’ on!

I agree with the elm diagnosis. I am so impressed: you posted Shipwright and GP hinges on the same day!

Excellent box, I think you have the box making down to a science.
