My First Box
My first box with all it's glory and flaws......many, many flaws but I learnt a great deal in making this box.....especially how to stuff things up.

Spoons...better than chopsticks but harder to make.

Not bad at all, should I ever make one I'd sure be pleased to do as well for a first one.
The best part? You learned a LOT (stuffups are educational ). Everything you learned on this one will make for an easier and better one on the next.

Very nice first box and there will never be one better. The learning process and time invested in the first one cannot be equaled in any respect. Looks like you had a grand time with that one and will enjoy future boxes as a result. I made my first one not long ago and have a fondness that will never be equaled.
Thanks for sharing it with us and giving a bar to measure our own efforts by.Cheers,
Bob

Well done Spoon Man. If you enjoyed the making of this box, then the next box will be even more enjoyable.

Hi Spoon Man,
Congratulations! Are you addicted yet? Love the rustic looking lid for the box. I'm guessing by the one hinge, it's not overly huge?
cheers
