I don't have the i-Box, but have been playing with my Incra jig a bit with some scrap pine resawed to 3/8". One became a letter holder for my wife, one will become a playing card holder for my son (or I may remake that one out of cherry). When I get around to it, I want to make some gift boxes for wine - pine box with box joints on 4 edges, dadoes for the bottom (fixed) and lid (sliding). Pull out the hand plane to make some "stuffing", and should be good to go.

This is a beautiful example and your addition of the reliefs on the bottom edges is a fine touch.

I made pie boxes the other year for Christmas. I know that they always get comments and people wish they could have one. Just size the box to your pie dish since there are different sizes. Also have seen boxes for cakes and cupcakes. I did not put handles on the ones I did but sometimes wish that I had.

I made this box when I first got my I Box. As I remember it is about 4" X 4" X 6". It is Black Walnut and Maple and finished with 5 coats of Tung Oil.

Looks like the router workshop guys fake foot idea, got to love it!
