    I must thank the members who have posted replies , it gives me much pleasure to show some of my work and be appreciated. Thank you John.

    How you go with wood movement? Have had issues with boxes that were for sale in air con. Shrinkage mostly.

    Wow that is some beautiful wood and well made boxes too. Very nice work.

    John what do you mean when you say......
    "Mitred corners with a vertical spline , something different to the corner splines"
    I don't understand the spline bit?

    Thanks for sharing John
    Cheers Kerry

    Kerry , look closely at the corners on the lid of the Huon pine box. John.
