Beautiful Tom and welcome to the site!  I was thinking about you a few weeks ago during the Beer Swap when I came on your carved hop project and wondered what became of you.  Glad you found your way here!

I love making bandsaw boxes but unfortunately, they so often look like bandsaw boxes with stray kerfs and gaps around drawers.  But this is a different style and I love it!  The carving is a well-chosen pattern with lines that compliment the curves at the top.  And the paint backfill compliments the wood and the design without detracting from them at all.  No offense but I'm probably going to steal the design.  I'll modify the carving pattern and wood selection so I'm not a complete copy-cat 😉
