Thanks Ron, that box joint blade set is the hero for nice tight chip free fingers.

Thanks very much Bruce, I never thought of IPE because the samples I’ve seen didn’t have the green/yellow color like this does.

Thanks Kenny, I mortised the hinges into the top so they wouldn’t look as bulky, but I didn’t think it hurt the back if I didn’t do that. With you and Bruce thinking IPE, I’m going with that.

Thanks YRTi, not sure why I like this box so much, but it’s one of my favorites this year.

Thanks Steve, I seem to always fume white oak when I use it. It just seems to look too new if left alone.
