This box is for a friend, Robert Roncal. I saw very unusual wood at my wood store and just bought it not knowing the use. Later I remembered that Robert was without one of my boxes. Here it is after two coats of finish. It is a stunner to me. I can't wait for the sun to deepen the color even more.

It is now completed.

STUNNING!!!!

I still get rave reviews of my scotch & 6 fishy glasses box you custom made for me!!!!!  

Last time in Morro Bay, THE MAN (Ron) had a US Navy Grip on the box like I've never seen!!!!!  I eventually got it from his iron grip into my car!!!!!

I love the color and figure of cherry when it's young like that. I built all of our bedroom furniture out of cherry and tried to buy interesting pieces like that when I could.

The box is done except I'm waiting for his nameplate.

In all boxes I make with 5/8" thick wood you will see hinge mortises, thinner than that and they are desirable but impossible.
