Same here, Gerald.. I've always preferred the look and feel of a
rounded bottom in the box..
Much easier to shape and finish and I think it's a bit more "elegant"
when folks look inside the box..

Marketing turnings is a "touchy feely" thing and I don't think people
get a warm, fuzzy feeling from square edges and flat bottoms..



FWIW, my favorite box tool is the Soren Berger thing that is basically a
bar with a rather odd shaped sharp blade at the end, you can use it to
make the bottom and the sides very quickly.
