A couple of recently made boxes

[Alan Morrison]

I used the tip end of an antler for the handle as it was too narrow to drill for a pen!


I'm not convinced on the handle on this one.

Good idea with the deer antler. Both boxes are elegant. My complements.

Very nice Alan! I especially like the face grain in the deer antler box, and the splines on the other box. Very classy!

I like your box making. A simple box is like a pen. There are soooooooooooo many ideas and designs that 4 wals of a box that can be accomplished and create stunning works of art. Natures colors of wood combined in itself can lead to fantastic projects. Shapes can help a design. You are doing great as you go down this path of projects. I too hope to join you soon. After I get the shop back in somewhat order. As far as both boxes they look great and the design on the second one is a step up. The handle does look overwhelming compared to the size of the box. Cutting it thinner in the center section could give it more proportion. But that is an eye thing and it really a matter of personal choice and eye. keep them coming.
