I really like the natural edge too.
The hinges cost a lot that is why I only bought a pair.

Beautiful box (I love koa)! I'm stunned by the low price you're asking.
I guess my WW'ing hobby will stay a hobby.

Thanks all. If you can believe it, the top I way nicer in person.
As far as the price, I figure I have about $60 to $70 into it so I will be happy with the profit from it. I bumped it up $50 from the one I did with a quilted Maple body. If it sells in under two months, the next one will go up again.
