I am fortunate to have finished another Series 7 tackle box headed for an owner in Colorado. I like the grain I found this time.

Absolutely gorgeous Mark. I never get tired of looking at your joinery.
:) Simply beautiful
Beautiful box! Mark.

Wow, that's gorgeous! How much does the finished product weigh?
Stunning Mark :)
Simply beautiful, the grain on that one panel is exceptional. incredible craftsmanship.
We throw so much wood thru our wood chippers, wish I could get it from log to that.

It weighs about 20 pounds. My experience shows that the stuff inside weighs far more, but I carry it for seconds per trip.
Wow, outstanding!
Tell us more about the finish please.
I would like to know were you get your hardware from ?
Mark: After I get our boat in the water, I'LL be wanting a box like that for myself to keep on board.
Joe
Outta sight--that wood grain is just crazy.

Mark I am overwhelmed by the beauty and workmanship of that box. Dominick

The SS piano hinge is from Amazon as are the stainless tubes. The eye bolts, t nuts, and various screws is from Albany Fasteners. The hasps and eye straps are from EBay. The hasps are called spring hasps and take a while to arrive from China, but very nice if installed well. Best of luck!
People pay a lot of money for wood like that in a gunstock. The way you ran that knot around the side is out of this world. I've seen people book match 8 pieces of wood in a circular pattern to get the effect that you got in one board on the top.
Spectacular, as always.
Ron
Very nice, workmanship AND lumber !!

The hasps is what i have been looking for . Thank you for the info . Joe
Thanks. Buying wood for this box involved picking through 70 - 12' long boards to find the right main piece. Yes, I carefully restacked all the wood too. So with one board to make the top, bottom, front and two sides thinking was needed. The back needed to be a second board. The handles and rocket launchers also were from that first main board.
I was happy about my choices and I very much appreciate your positive comments. I am currently making a walnut "Jon" box for a guy who already has one of my large boxes.
