I made a few of these wine boxes from the December 2006/January 2007 (174) issue of Wood Magazine as gifts to my sister and her husband on their 30th wedding anniversary and gifts to others.
The boxes are all cherry with a few coats of boiled linseed oil. I may experiment and add a coat of shellac, or not. The outside dimensions are ~ 15.5 inches long x 5.75 inches wide x 5 inches deep.
Thanks for looking.

That looks sweet.
What a wonderful build, and it really shows off the cherry.

Very cool project. I’m guessing the handle is meant as a slide only? How many hours would you estimate this project took to complete?

@spalm
Thanks for the comments on the photos. It was an exasperating experience—my floods would not sync with the main flash, I had a broken bulb and my backdrop was not laying correctly. It resulted in too many shadows. Next time I’ll take the pictures elsewhere in the house with more room and get the flash working properly.
@azsteve
Yes, the top only slides. I made three of these over several months and I would say that all told, it took me 20 hours. Included in this was the time to redo some of the parts because I made a mistake. Now that I have made three boxes, I suspect that I could bang one out in an afternoon. If the wood was already dimensioned.
Everyone, thanks for the kind words.
