Seeing Jims curlie maple I thought I would put one I just made for a gift for my dad. The curlie maple I used is not near as nice as Jims but not too bad though. The accent wood is walnut. Finish is just tung oil finish.

Thanks, Tom

Good morning all and thanks for the nice comments. this was a challenging box for me but it came out fine. the 45s are getting better larry but still room for improvement. Just finished a 45 degree angle sled last night needed for my final box to build this weedend hopefully that will help dial them in

Very nice. Was the sides connected to the bottom or just setting loose??

Again thanks all for the kind comments, I do appreciate them :thumb:

Ralph, the base is seperate from the box. Kind of like a hidden area between the box bottom and base bottom. Nice tight fit so they stay together when picked up

Thanks Allen. For this box I just used my miter guage that came with my table saw. attatched an extension so I could attatch a stop block for repetition. LOTS of set up cuts until I was happy with the miters. I made the sled for another box I am currently working on that the box sides were too tall to use the miter guage. I'll post some pics of my setup for you tomarrow.
