    sorry tony, the box is dovetailed,probably the camera angle. I have used mdf on some of my boxes but the one i'm working on now i'm using 4mm ply.I've read that ply will be more stable.
    Cheers Wardy

    Vey nice Wardy! The CL looks especially good.

    One thing though, I believe that an old established rule is never to have more than three timber types in a given piece (a "rule" that I have also broken before I learnt of this), and that only one should be the main feature.

    Nevertheless, a very nicely crafted box mate!

    Thanks for the advice Steve,I've never heard that before.I'll definately keep this in mind for the box I'm working on at the moment.

    Nice result Wardy. As the others have said, the CL came up a treat - would have looked good in the lid panel too.

    Some rules were made to be broken! Top looking box Wardy - the timbers work fine together IMHO

    Default Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

    I especially like the piece on the bottom of the box. I usually save my most boring pieces for the bottom, but you did the opposite. Shame to put anything in the box and and obscure that really cool looking grain.

    Do you have anymore of that? Some of that wood would be a cool item for the Mystery Swap.
    “When we build, let us think that we build forever. Let it not be for present delight nor for present use alone. Let it be such work as our descendants will thank us for; and let us think...that a time is to come when those (heirlooms) will be held sacred because our hands have touched them, and that men will say, as they look upon the labor and wrought substance of them, ‘See! This our father did for us.’ “ --John Ruskin. Audels Carpenters and Builders Guide, 1923 Theo Audel & CO. New York.
