If you want perfection then it isn't handmade. It is CNC machined,
assembled in a factory with sprayed on glues, finishes, etc.

It it isn't perfect, then it is truly handmade and one of a kind.

Somewhere between the mechanics of woodworking and raw timber is art and
the artisan and only he can turn lumber into art.

FWIW


Well Said!

If you want a bunch of identical boxes, go to Walmart or an Import place... hand
made, one-of-a-kind items are just that... YMWV
