Tony,

That is a really nice box.

Can I ask you a question though.
That would have been made from a rather large chunk of wood. Do you ensure it is fully dried or can such a box be cut from 'greenish' wood.

Cheers,

thanks to everyone for their kind words.

engineer one ~ don't forget the time spent fine sanding, by hand, which may account for perhaps 50% of construction time,

mudman ~ yes the block was about 1/5 larger than what can be seen now, I only work with dried timber - too risky otherwise

Kind Regards
Tony Ward
