Very nice Derek! The finished box looks great.Your brother should be very pleased. It occurred to ms that with a lathe one could have made a round container and glued paper between the stave halves, which could then be smoothed on the outside and inside, and then slotted or rebated to accept easier to make round ends. After separating the paper joints there would be 2 tops instead of one. I guess the idea of shaping the top ends to fit the inside of the top scares me, and I'm not sure what I would do with the other top!
