Mark, you surely have a knack for boxes. Looking good. I like the design. it has a Greene & Greene-ish/Japeneseish feel to it. Is it your own design? Nice lacing on the top.

[Jeffrey Makiel]

Nice work. I like the design too!

I really like the box design. Great job. Nice inlay too.

[Cliff Rohrabacher]

A box?? You call that a box??
It's more like fine furniture.
Very fine indeed.
Anyway it deserves close ups.

[Lori Kleinberg]

Hi,
WOW! I like it! Real Nice!Might be nice as a chest of drawers in that style.

[Mark Valsi]

GUYS,

Thanks for the comments.

The woods are Walnut and Red Oak. my usual lazy finish all wipe on, oil, poly, wax in that order


The "INLAY" on the top is not an inlay, just looks like that in the photo. It is just routed out with a template. My wife doesn't like it at all . . . and she's japanese !

Demensions: 22 in wide, 9" tall, 7+" deep

Design? Stolen from a cabinet I saw in a mag

Thanks for the nice commments
