    Valentine's Day Box

    Cherry and walnut with a B.E. maple bottom for the tray. Relieved and fret-cut the top. Bowl bit the bottom interior "trays". Not rubbed out or waxed yet but, you get the idea.

    Very nice Glenn. Very nicely done. I know that my wife appreciates the handmade things that I have made for her over the years.

    Dang, that make my Red Roses look pretty wilted!

    Great job . . . and another +1 on the timing.

    I would give you an "A+" on this project, but . . . . I have a very deep personal aversion to piano hinges!
    Darn it, that shiny box long hinge ruins the inside view in my opinion. The rest is great, so you only get an "A-"

    I'm with you on that. These are 90+ degree stop hinges but do have that continuous look. I generally stick with butt hinges but had none with the stop built in and like chains less that continuous hinges

    Great piece! I love the ogee profile on the edge of the lid. The bowl bit cuts on the interior tray is a nice touch. Perfect for the small shiny things these girls have. The splines are nicely done as well. Overall I'm very impressed.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Very nice. I like the hearts. I am continually amazed at the work that is displayed here on SMC. What I made for my Girlfriend for Valentines day, that was a box. This Mr. Bradley is something altogether different. Thank you for sharing.
