    Nice, simple, clean lines and the hinges and choice of lining set it off well.

    Good stuph!

    Basic perhaps but still very nicely executed. I quite like it.

    What is that style of hinge called?

    Another word for "basic" is "elegant". Works for me.

    Driftit, your definition of basic differs slightly from mine. My basic boxes are Pocket hole Ply, good for storing shed stuff, yours is a show room quality Heirloom piece.

    Nice work, great looking box. Might look basic to the unqualified eye but great deal of craft and know how required to make something like that. Excellent.

    I agree with all the above. Simple equates to elegance. Lovely.
