Pleased to see that the idea and our combined efforts are appreciated. So the modern day internet/forums have created another form of human interaction.
To BLM , the corner joints are standard mitres, but in this instance because one face of the box is made up of two layers I thought I would give the corners a bit more umph, especially as the two layers were glued with PVA and not titebond.
Titebond was not used because it is not transparent when dry.
Anyone want to do a butterfly or bird send me a pm and if you wish perhaps another project could proceed.
I received the box from John yesterday and it's even better in real life. Of course, I'll never get to use it, but my missus is thrilled to bits with her present.
