Bread Box from Scrap Wood

Al, to receive a comment of appreciation like you have extended to me is very rewarding. 

 Yes they were excited and surprised and what made it more appreciated by them is that it was from some of the scrap and left over wood from their own project.  I built red oak kitchen cabinets for this customer.  They lived in a rural area and in a 1970 build ranch home and had  a couple horses for riding as a hobby.  The trim in the home was light maple and light maple flooring so I use a piece of white hickory for the box top to match the trim and the flooring.

Thank You Al for such a nice complement.

As Steve has said Jay "very nice work, your designs and craftsmanship are truly top notch"

I'm sure that the customer would have been extremely happy when they received it. Well done.

Thank you Ron,  what this is is a complimentary gift that I give to my customers and is often from the scrap wood left from their own project.  It is my own design and I don't sell them and attempt to make each one a little different in someway where it be by the lid design with the initial of their last name or at least something to make it a little different from all the others.   In the box, I add a loaf of some special bread and a dvd slide show of the story of the building of their project.  It had been very popular with my clients.  In this case they own and raise horses.  Thanks again for the nice comments
