Golden mean question
I am terrible at math...really bad. But, I manage to get by.
I have always made my boxes by 'eye'...no set rule of thumb re: size. However, I have a piece of beautiful figured timber that I would like to make into a box.
Given the size, what are the possibilities, given the Golden Mean rule? I am just curious if 'my eye' sees the same.
The piece is 32" long, 3" wide, 3/16 thick.. That translates to (and correct me if I am wrong) 864mm x 76mm x 7.9mm.

Alan, this thread on the Golden Ratio worksheet should be of interest to you.

Very nice...the length is the front of the box, depth is the height, width is the side of the box (front to back)...correct?
