My aunt paid me to make a box for my uncle for his birthday at the end of the month. She bought him a watch for their anniversary and she wanted something nice that he could set on his dresser and keep the watch in, kind of a little mens valet.
So......here was the results..

Very nice looking box what woods did you use?

[pelligrini]

That's very sharp!

How did you do those dovetail details?

[radhak]

Wow!

I'm sure you love your aunt a lot - she could not have paid you enough for that!

[crokett]

That box is stunning. I love the detail on the dovetails and would like to know how it was done too. I know how I would do it, but there is probably a simpler way.

A great looking box, nicely done. Handcut dovetails?

Do you have an Incra dovetailing jig? I've seen that design on Woodpeckers site.

[pacwind3]

incra it was. The box is made from curly maple (which they had given me) and walnut. It is out of the incra project book, but I changed the lid a bit. I am really happy with the results. Thanks everyone.

Gorgeous. I'll bet it impressed more than the watch.

[JR]

Very nice! Those dovetails are ultra cool. I like the handle on the lid, too.

WOW, WOW, and WOW again! Bet he doesn't even notice the watch inside.

[pacwind3]

Oh yeah, the handle: it's a dovetail too

Beautiful work! Just beautiful!
