Beautiful wood! Nicely done. 

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

Intersting, very eye catching.   Well done on both boxes.

Gorgeous wood! It seems to me that the feet are a bit delicate given the size of the lid...

Really nice Boxer, gotta love that burl.
Beautiful burl - could you share a bit on your finishing process?
These two pieces were rough cut to size on a bandsaw then finished by hand plane. Sanded to 220 grit, then dampened to raise the grain, sanded again with 220 and 320 grit. Clear coated with high gloss polyurethane x 3, a light high grit sanding after the first coat.
