Michelle, those are quite nice. You didn't say what they are finished with but they all have a nice subtle glow. Trade?

Hi Hayes: since they won't get much wear..mostly sit on a dresser or table, i used shellac and wax. Most of the wood is spalty and won't shine much anyway & I hate plastic looking high shines on spalty wood. One could probbaly use a light coat of satin lacquer & rub it out with steel wool & get the same look

Wow... I'm incredibly inefficient compared to you Michelle, you're a machine! Those are all fantastic, it would be hard for me to pick a favorite. But I am drawn to the slightly rounded square one. Too cool

All right, that does it! I'm going to have to make some of those. One on the far right is my favorite, dark with the lighter little button on top. Some people are going to be very happy.

Very nice bunch. Boxes have a way of pleasing people in ways that other products don't. Maybe it is the personal gift that people really enjoy.

Neat selection! I'm kinda partial to that squarish/roundish one that Rick mentioned... That's going in the old inspiration folder!
