Thanks people, I don't know what I would do without you! :D

Danish Oil finish (not plastic slick I hope) pictures were taken before dry and paste wax. I will take more pics if the look changes with wax :rolleyes:

BTW, i used one of the 10ER's to do the miters .... :cool:

Nice!

The curly maple is gorgeous, of course. But I especially like the little barrel-shaped handle standoffs ... details really do matter. Did you turn those from cherry?

Good eye Dennis! Yes I turned those from a scrap cutoff of Cherry from the cherry top. It was about 1.5 inches by 1 inch and I originally was making a set of ball "feet" for the box, but when I place the box on the feet, I didn't like it so I used three of the four to mount the leaf.

Thanks for noticing! :)

ER, I was told a few months ago that anyone can get a gloss finish from a can and it doesn't mean anything anymore LOL, so I decided to just non gloss this box. I made this predominately with the two 10ER's for Dawn, the generous lady who gave me Texas Booty. She doesn't know it yet and is stopping by in a few weeks to see her dad's machine and get pictures. It is a surprise (I hope she isn't reading the forum LOL). You would prefer a gloss? Just curious......

OK, gotcha (whew :D ) I really like the look of the finish. This is probably my best effort so far with very few blemishes. I seem to be getting better at the precision needed to do this stuff :o
I am learning ....

I dont think there is a PERFECT miter, if there is, it wont be for long. A bit of wood putty, or saw dust and glue, ect makes the perfect miter. ;)
Give us report on how the gift giver liked the payment.
