Folks I tell you, the feel of this box, the fit and finish, it is outstanding. When my box recipient gets mine, that won't be a couple of the attributes discussed I am sure.
The wooden hinges, I have wanted to do some for ages. Now in my own home (on my wife's dresser) I will have my very own template!
I might add, it isn't going on her dresser for quite some time as it has a place in the center of the dining room table so it can be shown off and admired by all!
Tom branded it, that added a bunch to it also. I can't imagine the time, I have opened and closed it probably 100 times already, it works smooth as silk and it closes and matches up 110% every time!
Tom, as I said on the phone, "thank you so very much, it is a box that I could not afford to purchase if I saw it at a show". I can't wait to see your kitchen cabinets, they looked outstanding in the pictures, but having a box from you and seeing its craftsmanship, I can imagine the kitchen now has to be seen to be believed. Thank you for creating this box swap, thank you for the excellent box.
Congrats Jonathan on getting a terrific box.
(Actually, I'd put it on the mantle as a conversation piece. It would start some, for sure.) It has a real Arts and Crafts look to it, with emphasis on the Crafts part.
