Camphor Laurel Boxes

Hi All,
I've attached a few photos of my last two boxes for your amusement. I'm still only a beginner at this and have a lot of skills to get under my belt - especially placing these barrel hinges. My plan is try another hinge type... :(

Both boxes have a camphor laurel body. The first set of photos have a solid red cedar lid which I find particulary beautiful. The second set is a slightly larger box with Queen Ebony lid with huon pine inlay.

Anyway, enjoy...

Very nice indeed, :2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:
Did you have difficulties with the hinges? Did you follow the instuctions from the library under "Box Bits"?
Keep up the good work
