I just finished this Series 7 box for a gentleman in Texas. I am happy with the results.

What a beauty!
Your wood and grain placement choices are excellent, Mark —
Plus, the SS hardware set against the darker wood — really "Pops", and sez durability and beauty.
Best,
Fred

Amazing! I won't take it fishing it is too beautiful. my tackle box is all bashed up and full of sand!
I have had my mahogany box ten months just looking at- i did finally take it fishing last week. Everyone is stunned by it. Mark this walnut is awesome. Ya go me thinking about a rye case for my Angel's Envy (Scotch is nasty :)

Enjoyed so much, that I couldn't keep THE (Ron Jones) MAN off the scotch or glasses. In Fact, RON?? I never found the Jim Beam Black after our last Morro Bay Trip!!!!
Well worth the few shillings Mark charges for his valuable time & woodsmith work.
Also, I'm looking for my next bottle of eastern North Carolina BBQ sauce! Got any recommendations????

That's a shame, Wayne. I enjoy it often. I also have recently discovered that Ron Bacardi is selling his Black rum again, what a Mai Tai!
When it comes to most libations, Black is better.

Super job !
You route tricky hinge mortises. I say tricky as you need the move the entire box past the router bit. It always works, but there is a pucker factor.
Lovely work Mark, your a gifted man, to good to take fishing, cheers Don.
Beautiful box!
