Those are too nice for Kleenex. Well done!
Now get to work on a Falling Waters toilet paper holder!

Those will fit right in in an A&C home, Cian. Very nice. The cherry looks more like pitchy cherry than spalted to me, but it works well in either case.

 My only suggestion is next time use some wood with character, that plain Jane stuff is pretty boring  I absolutely love Cherry with gum streaks. PS I would call that Cherry curly, with gum streaks. Curly cherry usually is just a blotchy darker patch  Gummy Cherry 
Worst thing they can do is cook ya and eat ya

Cherry and maple always seem to make a nice couple...

The Woodnet braintrust comes through again. Thanks for the clarification on the wood gents. I was struggling with this one a bit. That cherry board has been in my stash for a while and has darkened enough to have me question whether it was a lighter walnut. Pitchy/gummy cherry never crossed my mind - good to know.

Nice boxes, Cian.
When I am shopping for cherry, I always keep my eye out for gummy cherry, as my wife prefers it. It does add character.
