Popular Post Dave Monk Posted March 26, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 A couple of years ago @OCtoolguy posted a box similar to this that I really liked so I have had to make a few. I used sapele and maple with velvet drawer inserts. Gene Howe, jollyred, Fish and 23 others 23 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mess up on the top and didn't get the grain lined up with the design. I don't think most people with notice but I sure did after the fact.

preprius Posted March 26, 2022 Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 Dave, Yes another pleasing project. Great contrasting maple trim. And i can not find the grain issue. I guess I need a trained eye.

trackman Posted March 26, 2022 Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 Showed your box to my wife. She wanted me to tell you that she thought you did it on purpose. Because it looks so good. She is a much better artist than I am for sure. The top draws eye to bottom. No mistakes in art lol OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
