Greg this is another winner. Running out of things to say about your boxes, they are all spectacular!

That is an awesome work! What a great creativity! Love it.

I like it…......I would like it more with a high gloss finish on it. I am not usually one for a high gloss finish, I just think this needs that extra pop that gloss will add.
Well done once again.

Another nice one Greg, Good luck with your upcoming show.

Damn Greg, you sure do turn out some very nice looking boxes…but can you make these on the band saw…just kidding you.

-- Larry in Hawaii,

Haven’t checked in and commented lately Greg but I’m still watching and still appreciating your fine work.
No different here.
Best wishes (you don’t need luck) for the upcoming show.

I really love your carving on this. Great shape.

-- Nature created it, I just assemble it.

howdy greg, looks like another beauty to me, quarter sawn and rift is quite attractive and i like it that way, how did the kentucky show go…i hope it went better then the atlanta show, im working on my desk right now, just did the glue up on the top, susan is gone to michigan for 2 weeks, so im here alone with the furry ones…im doing my best to stay out of trouble…

I’m one of those that is not a fan of FLAT sawn red oak but QUARTER/
RIFT sawn with the great rays and flecks…....one of my favorites!

This is another ‘long legged’ one. It puts me in mind of a crab for some reason.

You could always rub some shellac on that without having to wait for the BLO to cure. Works great and saves a lot of waiting. I have never tried the rattle can shellac but that would probably work as well.

Another beautiful box Greg…You just keep producing amazing sculpted boxes..please don’t stop.

-- Dave.......If at first you don’t succeed redefine success....

Beautiful work again Greg. I think oak is an all around winner when chosen correctly.

Beautiful!! I love Red Oak and you did justice to this piece!

Thanks for sharing

-- Chuck Emery, Michigan,

Your boxes are starting to look like they formed themselves out of the wood and are ready to run away.
Great looking as always, thank you for sharing.
