Nice box. What kind of joints did you use? How much time did you spend on that one? I've got some wood that is about dry and I'm wanting to make a box like yours.I've not made a box before but I'm ready to give it a try.

nice use of the natural edges; takes real self confidence to risk that but it was a good choice.

Denny,
very nice box. Good job. That's a pretty wild looking piece of wood. We don't have avacado trees up here in Ohio.

I think this piece need some kind of polishing and all.

For what purpose you will use them ... as a jewellery box.
