keepsake boxes

[bash]

Finished up a few more keepsake boxes (with wooden hinges and a Bible verse burnt into the inside lid) and a couple jewelry boxes. Most of the wood was "rescued" from firewood piles and old stacks of rough sawn boards that had seen better days. The chestnut is from a barn torn down in WV many years ago. Woods include walnut, cherry, oak, maple, osage orange, and American chestnut.

Very nice! This is one of my favorite things to do. You are really good at it! They make great gifts and cost little to make. You might try incorporating some inlay in your boxes. Check out www.inlaybanding.com.

Great Job, especially the wooden hinges. My favorite is the spalted maple box. :notworthy:

What Bill said! They are all beautiful, and great grain patterns, but that spalted box is magnificent!

Awesome. I hope to mess around with box building in the future. Much easier to move around then entertainment centers!
