Eddie,
I missed this post earlier.
The box turned out beautiful, very nicely designed and executed.
I do as Eddie did.. I think.. I use my TS or other common woodshop tools such as my routers to do everything EXCEPT the carvings...
Not that any other way is better or less than..
Spalted, thanks.
Will George, yes I cut everything before hand, using my table saw. Then did the carvings using rails. The way I look at it, cutting the miters is one of the areas where you can mess up. So cutting them ahead of time, ensures I have a functional box before and after the carves. If I did the carving before hand, and had just one miter turn out bad (short), then I would have to carve another board and cut the miters again. Plus doing it this way there is less chance of the carvings being off center on the board too.
Just my thoughts on doing mitered boxes.
I would like to hear from others as to their methods of doing mitered boxes.

Hello Eddie,
Great looking box you have there, I like it.
Ray-
Thanks Ray. I mailed it out today, so she will have it early. daughter lives about 300 miles away, and when she comes down here she raids my collections of work I have done. Can not say no to her.
Below is a box (bandsaw) I drew up last week and made too. Flocked the inside last night.

Nice job Eddie. Looks really great to be done on a bandsaw. You've got talent most of us don't have. Keep posting your projects, love seeing what others can do, especially with out the CW.
thanks
