Nice Box. The pepperwood is nice. The defects must be typical because I had some and it had a lot of defects. Repairs look good.

Hey Roger, I’m off the forum for a few days over Christmas and I miss three boxes! You may consider this a heartfelt “attaboy” for all three. If I had to pick, I think my favourite would have to be ….. ahhh …… nope, I just can’t pick, I like ’em all. :-)
Have a great new year.

Oh man!
The veneer is terrific. It’s very hard to chose between all your box.
It seems you got your technique down to a science.
In my opinion fixing mistakes is more difficult than building the project itself.
I must admit I hate myself in the morning and evening as well. LOL.

Roger,

We never tire of seeing your works of art!

While we don’t use exotic burls, we have had considerable experience filling holes. Much of the oak milled off our property has oak wilt and we don’t necessarily like the appearance of distressed furniture and cabinetry so we’ve learned to fill the worm holes so they aren’t visible (at least not to us old folks with poor vision).

Ah, Roger, I just plain love your boxes. And I love hearing your stories about their construction. It’s hard to believe you’re still learning new things on box-making. I thought you knew it all! That’s the beauty of woodworking, isn’t it.

As with all of your work, this is not just a box but a work of art,spectacular work.
