    Yes! I do like them. The thing that makes them art is the wood is not too thick.

    I think they are beautiful. Love ‘em. Nice work, Andrew. I’ve never seen anything like that at craft fairs, etc. I would think they would sell well.

    Very creative and attractive! I'll bet they'll sell quickly. The wood is just gorgeous!

    Very nice looking containers. Can you provide a few more details on how you make them and the finishing?

    Those are really nice - I'd buy one.

    Beautiful miters, too. Are they reinforced in any way?

    Seriously nice! Love the way the grain flows around the corners. If you can share tips about cutting and joining the miters that would be great.

    Yes Barry got it. Eucalyptus and walnut.
    I was asked about tips to make these containers. I really don’t even know if I could explain all the steps, in a nut shell i used a compound miter to get me close then a small apron plane for the final fit. Careful selection of the pieces some luck some skill some art.
    The corners are joined with dominos.
    Thanks for all the comments.

    The Domino can do anything! They are very nice! Hope you find a market for them. If not, they would make great gifts for family and friends.
