Very nice Jerry…! Your inlays really enhance the box.

Unique idea. The walnut really shows off.

Jerry, I really like the choice you made for the lift. It looks great and fits the design. I take it that the handle is extended beyond the surface of the box by the dowels. Interesting concept.

This box keeps reminding me of an old steamer trunk with its metal or wooden straps for reinforcement and ropes to hold it shut. This design really grabs the eye. Nice work.

This is an especially effective job of photography. That really enhances this posting. You sure do have photography down pat.

As a side note, your link to the other box doesn’t work. You may want to edit that. I am surprised you didn’t pass along the tape trick to hold things in place while you added the hinges.

It is not every Lumber Jocks posting that includes fashion advice like this. What hat and shirt do you recommend wearing with plaid pants and paisley shoes? Keep boxing and keep posting.

really cool design here, thanks for including the “how-to” for inserting the inlays. At first glance I thought you cut out each individual joint, man am I glad I read the whole post!

Good looking project. Beautiful contrast and design. The pine and walnut really make each other pop. I see this as a fun way to use up some of the cutoff strips of nice lumber. Good idea. Thanks
