Here's a box for another friend back in OHIO.
turned out not too bad, but the handle? I could never get a handle on it !
The third picture is w/o the flash, so it looks more accurate as to the real color of the box.
Comments, positive and negative, are always welcome

Very nice, Mark! How did you inlay the walnut strip at the mitered corners? Is it via a jig, or some other process?
Thanks!

Very nice indeed Mark. I understand the statement about the color in the first two as I just discussed in a post to you in Southern Cross.
Quite nice indeed...

Great job on this box too Mark.
How many buddies do you have in Ohio that you have to build boxes for?

Thanks for the kind words.
The inlays on top were done with the Microjig and my new Festool 1010 router.
The corners were done with the table saw. I mitered the corners of the box, glued it, and when dry, cut a little "groove" in each corner, glued in a piece of walnut, when the glue dried, I sanded it down!
Really pretty easy to do, but looks impressive.
I hope that was the last buddy in OHIO <g>

Nice job, mark.. the inlay really makes it pop. The handle looks Asian inspired. What is the box going to be used for?
