Cuban mahogany is today a very rare and special material. Im pleased to see it in good hands.
I’m also pleased to see your respect for it in making it go as far as you could.
Fine work Cathy.
BTW, you could always make hinges. :-)

Hahahah…...make hinges? I hardly have enough time to sleep. I have three fairs this summer, which are stretching my resolve. I rarely give myself so much work to accomplish in such a short time.
Once the dust settles, I think making hinges is a great idea. I accept the challenge Paul.
Thank you all for your kind thoughts.
Aloha…......

Guess I spoke too soon. You are using hinges. Sorry. This one is beautiful.

Another great looking box Cathy..

-- Larry in Hawaii,

Cathy, this is lovely work. The Koa in the top sings and I really like the idea of a curved divider inside the box. Lots of gluing in this process, but a good use of all the small pieces of lovely wood we all accumulate in our shops. Best of luck in your shows. When you figure you need to make a box every two days or so it gets to be a lot of pressure.

Beautiful boxes Cathy…love the wood in these two, A lovely way to use up scraps and give them new life.
