BOX SWAP 2013 - Boxes are showing up!!,

Good things come to those who wait :thumb: Mail-lady brought me Carol's box today and it tis sweet!!!
It was all I could do to get it out of the miss's hands long enough to shoot a photo or two :D
Very nice Carol!!! I won't venture a guess on the type of wood, as that will just prove how little I know :rofl:
Oh btw, 30 lashes with a wet noodle for not signing it :p....luv it, Thank you!
My photo's don't do it justice, but I tried :wave:

Ambrosia maple. And you took much better pictures than I did. It has warped a little so if you twist the top slightly it locks on. I had a dickens of time getting the lid off once. I couldn't find my wax, so I'd suggest a rubbed in/on coat or three of wax and buffing. Glad you like it.
 
Ok...let's try this out.

ALRIGHT still another box posted:thumb: and it is another dandy, well done Mack, nice carving:) oh and the pen.....eh, just another pen:p........YA RIGHT:eek:, it is fantastic, ya gotta be happy with that Jim:) and if I have my count correct, there is only one more to go and am looking forward to that one also:)
 
You are the box Queen Carol!! Well done.
Mack talked me through the story of the box and it was great yarn to listen to. The story of the pen is posted in the turning section. Thanks again Mack!
 
Man what great work all around by everyone :highfive: :clap:. I'd sure be hard pressed to pick a favorite (so I'm glad I don't have to - I'll stick with the one I've got as my favorite cause its all mine muhahaha - actually loml claimed it for the sewing room but.. well.. :D). Really fantastic work all around here and I have to say I've actually learned a bit by looking at some of your designs.

I really like how the lid is a continuation of the form on Carols box. Very neat design.

The chip carving is very well done indeed, I especially like the birds on the lid; they are just about perfect imho for the style.
 
And the last one!
