Is the 8th one down made from Koa wood?  I just love the craftsmanship.

The wood is Guanacaste wood from Costa Rica. It is their national wood. That one is my box.

New "Ammo Box-sized" tackle box. A fisherman from Tennessee asked me to build him a tackle box that was much smaller. It was fun to try something different. Here are photos depicting the stages in its assembly.












Here it is with only 2 of 6 coats of finish



A size comparison with its big brother.

That is fantastic. I just brought home a few metal boxes, maybe I'll build a box for them.

Nice job mmayo!... Dowels or biscuits?
Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

On the big boxes, I use several size 0 biscuits. The little one easily holds 21 pounds with just TiteBond III.

Very beautiful Mark.  Love mahogany wood.
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

Forgot about glue. I've got a gallon or more of Titebond but no waterproof stuff. I'll have to fix that. I've got some koa accent strips ripped up that would look awesome in one of those.

The type III is very tough, so tough the wood will break before the joint- I've tried it a few times. I gave up on gorilla glue because I did not like black hands. Water cleanup with TiteBond III is money.

Post your result.

Mark,
    You're certainly a talented craftsmen... those boxes are art, but can't imagine using one on a boat, they're just too pretty!
Looks like you use all quality hardware as well.
Beautiful,
Dom

Yes, you do some beautiful work Mark.
Dom, I wouldn't be too concerned, that box has a nice shield for protection.
