When the wood has arches, go with it

[mmayo]

I was asked to build a unique size tackle box that holds a lot in a small space. The owner runs Cedros Sportfishing and people from the US fly from Tijuana to Cedros island so space is a premium. When I bought the wood it had numerous arches and thought if I cut carefully I could keep the theme in all six sides (yes the bottom is pretty too). She liked it and posted these photos in numerous useful places with positive comments to be kind.

I showed the starting board to show where I start.

Good looking box and it's also called Cathedral figure by some. That Mahogany is nice stuff to work with.
