Latest box

Nice!

I like bubinga, but never used it. I have an 8/4 plank in the shop waiting for a project, got that same kind of subtle, half curl, half quilt, as what I see in your box.

For the bottom perhaps I should say purty purty

Very nice work, keep 'em coming!

Looks good. I was going to make a joke "I once had panga-panga bottom but my doctor gave me some salve" but that would be tasteless...

Don't care for those big surface-mounted hinges.

Woodcraft. The catches are inexpensive. https://www.woodcraft.com/search?q=small+box+latch&button=search

I've used the hook latch (this box) the small box catch, and the ball clasp. I like them all but the hook latch might be a favorite.

The hinges are exhorbitant. I tried out this surface mount (Vertex $27). They are OK but I like the Brusso small box hinge better. I found them at Lee Valley for $24.20. Elsewhere they are as much as $36 a pair.

Nice. What's the finish?
