Background:
Some time ago I posted this thread (http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=47140) on a prototype box that became a Christmas present to my aunt.
Following that post, and the thread that developed as a result, a Customer Service representative from Leigh contacted me to ask if I would be interested in allowing them to add photos of the box in one of the Galleries at the Leigh web site.
The Leigh representative was very interested in the innovative "bow ties" that resulted from playing around with end-on-end dovetails using walnut accents in sycamore. They had never seen this done; of course, I never had either, until I started playing around with the theme in the shop one afternoon.
I received notification today that the box is now posted in their Inlaid Dovetails Gallery (http://leighjigs.com/gallery.php?pid=1§ion=15). My box is the one in the last two photos in the Gallery.
I am truly humbled by this experience, and wanted to share it with my friends and fellow woodworkers. My thanks to all of you who made such positive comments; it truly fuels a nice fire under my feet! http://www.forums.woodnet.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yellowsmile.gif
Enjoy!
