Here's a long overdue update on a project in progress: a loose lid keepsake box. I've had the box done for a while and I've been working on the lid. I took the last shaving from it on Saturday and rubbed in some BLO before taking a couple of pictures:



The first photo doesn't show off the curly maple very well but you can see a bit of it in the second.
 
Thanks for the kind words everyone, especially with regard to the miters. The box miters were straight off the table saw, after a lot of fussing with test cuts. The lid frame was accomplished using my first attempt at a miter sled. Now that I have a shooting plane, I need to work on a miter shooting board, then a donkey's ear version.
