Great little box Abbas. I’m sure that the small nick can be fixed without showing. I love the pattern.

Beautiful. How about a finished photo with hardware? Are you going to hinge the top or leave put a pull on the lid or something?

That’s just sweet Abbas.
Chain link fencing never looked so good!

The first couple of pics I thought you were making a cutting board, I was thinking “that’s a lot of work for a cutting board…and why is he making it so thin?” Thanks for sharing the process, that is a beautiful looking box with a unique pattern.

Thanks Mike. It’s a little harder because the pattern. I will try to figure the weekend. no more rushing.

Brian, Thanks. No hinges. Just the lid on top. If I am successful in fixing somewhat the mistake it will be posted as a project.

Thanks Paul. I am actually quite stress by the end result. All my making.

Thanks Rob. Making a cutting board was an idea I contemplated before stating the project. The pattern would be ruined on the first contact with a knife :). I will be making some cutting board soon though.

That is looking wonderful and thanks for the great pictures of the build process .
This is great inspiration and a tease for getting into box making again but there are too many other things on the list .
I always enjoy your posts because they are so detailed and well explained with pictures .
