Box (pics) - Aram - 04-24-2018
I finally finished my daughter's 18th birthday present. She turned 20 a couple of weeks ago, if that gives you an idea of how this project went.*
A box in a box.

*First it was a walnut box with a sliding lid, with another walnut box in it. That was 3/4 done when it broke. I still don't know how. There were a few other ideas that didn't work out, then I moved, then the curved top box that was just a little out of reach for me (but someday!).

Very nice indeed. Brusso hardware?

That's a really nice box, but why the rush to get finished?

Chuckled my way through this thread.
Funny and fine, at the same time. Lovely box.I have a friend who has been working on his daughter's wedding gift for as long as I can remember. The statistics for the marriage lasting long enough to enjoy that gift aren't encouraging.

It's a sweet looking present ... and, .... save! I bet she loves it and you.

Beautiful! Your daughter will treasure it for the rest of her life. I really like the finish on the maple. What is it?
RE: Box (pics) - Bill_Houghton - 04-25-2018
I like your "knobs," particularly the one for the top opening. Very creative. And the overall box is good, too. Your time frame beat schedule for the coffee table I made years back for my wife's birthday...Christmas...birthday...Christmas...repeat...present.

Very, very nice! She will appreciate this all the more in the coming years, looking back at her time growing up with you!

Very well done. I hope your daughter knows it was worth the wait.
