Nice polish. I really like the design. I checked out those hinges. Pricey but a great touch for a clean look.

Involve your kids and grandkids. They'll love you for it!

GaryL….Thanks for the compliment. I think the hinges cost more alone than everything else combined…

Older project but I entered this into Curves -aliciousness contest. I didn’t see in the rules where I couldn’t. Hope my entry is fine with everyone

One of the many things I like about this site is how old projects jump to the top of the project list if someone comments on them so everyone can appreciate them.

That is a beautiful box, kdc68. The wood combination is pleasing to the eye, and the finish is gorgeous.
Thank you

i agree that box is gorgeous. old projects pop up all the time because there beautiful work. sadly most of the time the creator is long gone.

Well done. I kinda remember this from back when from the WoodSmith POV, so I searched images for "Curved lid treasure box" I was surprised just to see your box, and WoodSmiths. I thought many of them would pop up. So it looks like nobody else posted what they built, or you were the only one to accept the challenge. The page from WoodSmith gives some additional info, and a short video that explains many of the possible sticking points. Nice build, and well done.
