The most recent Fine Woodworking cover article got me inspired and I have
been on a box-making expedition.

That, and the fact that it's tacky to show up to my monthly poker game with
a zip-lock baggie full of change.

The poker box (center) is spalted maple and cherry. The two boxes shown with
it are red oak and spalted-lord-knows-what from my back yard. I was inspired
my the rough-cut wood with really course pinned box joints from the article.
I took the idea of symmetric box joints and made a cluster rather than one
big pin. Unlike in the article, I carved my pins round-headed. BTW, I
really like the worm holes.

The light-box is something my wife requested to support her quilting habbit
http://carole-quiltingadventures.blogspot.com/. Although it's tough to see
in the photo, I mitered the top an bottom pins in the box joint to make the
glass and bottom rabbet/gooves through cuts.

Thanks for looking,

Steve
