What do you think of my first attempt at reproducing the wooden shipping boxes of old?

NICE REAL NICE
A little felt in the bottom and a padded top should be great
How much can you make them for
Should be quite some interest

Ed,
That's beautiful wood looks like walnut? Nice craftsmanship I like how the grain matches up. Very nice indeed.

Nice burl piece, Ed. Walnut always looks good; I like the biscuiting at the corners.

Beautiful, Love to have one for a 18s.

Ed, congratulations. You put my mind to racing . . . what could we do making those with a 2.5 mm beveled edge White crystal window and putting in Waltham 8-day movements . . . Making any 16-18s watch into a small stand-up Desk Clock . . . . . . or you just enjoy that fine piece of wood!

Ed, Just lovely. You put it up, I will bid.

that is really nice ED! if you can make those for a nice price I would like to have one or two.

I can personally attest to how nice Ed's work is. I am privileged to have one of these.

Thanks Ed!

Thank you all for your comments.
The boxes are made from some Black Walnut I have had for a very long time. I almost had enough to make 6 boxes. One has a Cherry top and bottom.
They are lined with felt cloth and the tops are padded.
I have plans to make more when I get a chance. A few for the big old 18s RR watches and a few for the Hamilton 992b's & 950b's. The 992b & 950b series watches have the same size case diameter and a wide type bow. Pendant and bow sizes vary greatly. This will make it easier to make the insert that holds the watch.
I do not have any idea what it would cost to make one of these. This has been a "labor of love" for me. The material and hinges I had. The next ones I will have to purchase more lumber for, and burl is expensive.
I will place some of each up for auction when I complete them.
Thanks again for your comments.
Ed

That sounds very fair, looking forward to it.
