Another "easy" box

[Mark Valsi]

Here's another one in my series of "easy" boxes. I like this one the best with the BE maple and figured walnut. Came out pretty nice

[Randy Zrubek]

Super Nice!! I especially admire how tight the miters are. Good looking wood also.

[jim sauterer]

great job that wood is spectacular.

[Bruce Page]

Another nice one Mark. Does the lid pivot on pins somehow or does it "rest" in a slot when open?

[Mark Valsi]

The lid just rests in the back, the rear support is lower than the other 3, and the side supports are rounded off in the rear.

[Greg Labacz]

Great box!! was it your own design or from a plan?

[Ben Hatcher]

Cool box. I'm curious as to how you open it. I don't see any lip or pull on the top.

[Mark Valsi]

Greg. Stole it from the cover of Fine Woodworking
Ben: push down on the back of the lid, the front slides up, you grab the front and push it to the back and it fits in the slot. Very easy with a lot of room for error

[Bill Wyko]

Absolutely beautiful. It's not often you find birdseye that looks that niche and made it past the veneer machine. Very well done.

[Bill Rogers]

Mark,

Nice job! What are the rough measurements of the box?

[Mark Valsi]

7" x 12", about 3" tall

[Bobby O'Neal]

Very nice. Great figure and colors in your wood choices

[Bill Rogers]

Mark,

What finish materials did you use on this box?
