Really wonderful DW.  I wish we had the Appleply over here but no such luck.

Hey DW, nice box.  Dumb question.  It looks like you did 6 layers.  No matter how good I cut, the inside layers are never exact.  How do you sand down the inside cuts to make them exact?  I've tried several methods and it is always awkward.  I always get there, but what a pain.

There are indeed 6 layers but if you cut carefully and then work with sets of 2 layers at a time then it becomes much easier to get them smooth enough.  Also if you have a wood carving chisle D8/7 which is a u shape then you can get into the slot to clean up the fit.

Thanks, I didn't think to use a chisel.  Will give it a go on the next one.

DW is that your own design or is it available somewhere?
