Great little boxes. The last shot says it all.

The boxes will get lots of use in the future. I can see by the smile on her face that they like them. They look great.
That smile is the best reason to work wood. Congrats.
Gary
you made someone very happy, and she'll think of that every time she sees the box for years and years--good show!

I like it. Someone can not remember who just did a review on them. I am in the camp I would rather spen money for a jig than build it since I have very limited shop time I would rather build something other than jigs.
Nice looking boxes. The recipient looks pleased so that is the important thing.
One design area you might want to look at in future boxes is to make the top and bottom floating panels inside the side frame pieces. Seasonal wood changes may cause your lids to cup as the lids expand or contract due to moisture changes in the air. You might be able to slow this down with equal coats of finish inside and out, but a floating panel will usually prevent the cupping.

Lee thanks for the advice. I did not even think about that since the boxes are so small. 3 x 7 inches. The boxes are about 1 year old now and there has not been any problems yet.
thanks
