Box

[Richard Jones]

Haven't posted much here lately. Here's my first attempt at a loose lidded box. I've made a couple of the suction fit Stafford-esque types, but don't have any pics here. 3.5" h x 3.5" dia, cherry.

Box is sitting on my drafting table in my office, so be gentle with me regarding the picture technique..............

Thanks for looking, critiques welcome.

Richard,Very nice , It appears to have a formal engr/drafsman look about it ( place to hide a rosin bag ) I like the details in and out and it just looks poised and astute with out being snobby. Well done Richard !!!!

Nice job Richard, I really like it.

Here is one I made this very morning. It 's jolting how simular the two projects are. Mine is from Chinaberry, still needs a little work on the lid.

Richard, I like that, very nice! I like all the little details you did and the finish looks great. Thanks for sharing.

Richard - I like the box very much. It has a nice classical form.

Sweet cherry box, Richard. Makes me feel like I want to make one:).

Richard - very nice work! Well thought out and just enough detail work - inside and out - to make it interesting! Being Cherry - this is going to look outstanding in a few years!

Bill - beautiful work also! You should start your own thread so others won't miss seeing your work!

Bill and Rich these are both awfully pretty! I love turning boxes and copied these to my "to be copied" folder...Bill..

Good looking boxes guys. Wish we had some cherry in this neck of the woods.

[Eugene Wigley]

Great looking boxes. Thanks for posting them.

[David E Keller]

Nice boxes gentlemen... I see a few loose lid boxes in my future... I like the look of the overhanging lid and agree that the amount of detailing is just right to my novice eye

[Bernie Weishapl]

Those are both great looking boxes. Well done.

Richard,

A very nice box. I love cherry and it will look great as it ages.

I have not tried a box yet but your detail work really sets it off.

Very nice and no need to apologize for the pictures - they look fine.
