Good things come to those who wait 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
Very nice Carol!!! I won't venture a guess on the type of wood, as that will just prove how little I know
Oh btw, 30 lashes with a wet noodle for not signing it....luv it, Thank you!
My photo's don't do it justice, but I tried

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.

Man what great work all around by everyone 
. 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.. ). 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.
