Dave,
Nicely done indeed. And I completely agree that a bit of time with Andrew does change ones approach to box making. I like your work a lot.

I though The style was something I have seen before. Then I read your description :)

Very clean and elegant box.

The box is beautiful. I’ve looked at it several times. I just noticed something. The top isn’t mitered. It appears to be butt jointed. Is that right?

Gary,
thanks for your comments; and you are right, the corners are not mitered. Andrew favors a rabbet joint on the corners; as he feels it is more secure . It is easier to keep square during the glue up also (in my opinion)

Well done, I believe you can learn in a week from a great teacher what it would take a year on your own but it looks like you must have had some skills going into that class. I’m a true believer in woodworking classes. That is just a beautiful box!
