Exactly what I thought when I first saw it.  Nice work.

Thanks for the praise, gents. I have a few more in the queue; they should be done in the next week. This was a surprisingly easy box to make; I used spray adhesive to attach the patterns to the leg and handle stock; they located the holes drilled for the dowels. A stationary belt sander and oscillating spindle sander made quick work of the curves. The lesson I learned on this batch is to use painter's tape on the boxes when cutting the slots for the splines to prevent tearout.

With this box, I really experienced a great feeling of pride. Not because of the design (not mine) or end product (lots of flaws) but because my wife liked it so much that she demanded that it be hers. Coming from her, that's *high* praise.
Semper fi,
Brad

Great looking box, Brad! You are deservedly proud, and not just because your wife liked it. You did a really nice job. I'll bet they sell well.

You did yourself proud on that one.  Did you go by plans or just make it?  If you have plans would you care so send me a copy?
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.
