Boxes,I find interesting, the early ones are very thick. the 3rd month they are thin and the lids are much easier to fit. most of the better ones I have already given away. wood selection now (follow the grain) is what I find drives what I make. I do not plan anything until the wood is mounted. Segmented pieces are what I would like to try. Could you send me the name of the book you used for learning segmentation? Thank You Rob C.
