Hey Pottz...
Thanks... but I uploaded the wrong box. The one shown now with dovetails is hers. Same ribbon, different box. 😁

Plane shaving ribbons? So cool! They'd last a few minutes in our house, though.

Yes they are plane shaving ribbons. They've been spray lacquered and no problem in my sister's house with them getting damaged.
Great detail work! Lacquering up the curls is a great way to make them at least a little more stable.
Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".
Thanks Ryan!
The contrasting wood sure makes those dovetails stand out. Nice work on it!!

Hey Jim.. thank your sir!
Very nice - very creative!
Tastefully done!
The shavings are a great addition, they do look fragile but you seem to have taken that into account. Besides, if they get damaged they are easy to recreate or just look down at the floor for replacements 😬

Thank you Ronstar, SplinterGroup, Petey! Cheers!
Well done, and very witty. Like this box as is, the "ribbon" makes it special.
Thanks GeorgeWest!
Beautiful box. The ribbons would not work every where (I'm thinking about grandkids) but will be excellent in the right home. Nice job!
Thanks Steve. Yes you're right but my sister doesn't have kids around. She loves it!
