These are some boxes that I finished today. They are for my 3 grand daughters. They are small ones. They are only 7in by 4in by 3in high.

Charley,
Super job! I'll bet your grand daughters will be doing the show and tell for all their friends!!

Charley,

Great looking boxes for sure and you know how excited those gals will be.

How are the insects done?

Thanks for sharing

Those are REALLY cute, Charley!! Thanks for sharing them. And I echo Bob's question...do tell!

Charley those are great. They are going to love them. Ditto the question on the butterfly. How did you do it?

[Charley Moore Jr.]

I cut each piece out with a scapel. I first cut the out line for the butterfly etc. then I cut out inside the wings, after all is done I inlay or make the cuttout in the top. Then I put them in a vacuum press for about an hour. I hand sand them all so that I don't go through the veneer.

Nifty boxes, Charlie. Here is the first picture after running it through PhotoShop. Now you can see the nice maple grain.
