wood box plans simple

Well the wine ceremony box is paid for and delivered. The couple was incredibly happy with the results and I hope it works well for them as a reminder for many, many years to come. Here are some of the final pics I managed to get before it was off and gone into another life.
1. For the sake of speed I used 1/4 birch plywood for the bottom of the box. I would have preferred solid wood (no reason other than personal fetish)
2. I would have liked some strap hinges instead of simple brass ones, (not that it matters a lot on a box that will probably stay nailed shut for the next quarter century)
3. I didnt take the time to plan my dovetails around the grooves plowed that capture the bottom and so I had to glue in small patch pieces to hide the showing gaps. The patches are probably only visible to me (and now to you because I told you to look for them) but in my mind I would feel better if I made it right the first time and didnt plan to patch at all, I just havent fixed this geometry in my head enough to make it second nature yet.
4. Im not completely sold on the interior battens, They are glued on only half and nailed across the whole of the lid to help promote the lid staying flat as long as possible. I gave an instruction letter to the new owners explaining some of the quirks about living with and using solid wood furniture, something todays consumer doesnt get a whole lot of experience with. I woulds have preferred full length battens on the outside edges of the piece but in the end I didnt like the way it would look this time around. I wanted very, very clean lines. Only time will tell I guess, and chances are I will never hear one way or another.
At any rate, heres to the new owners, may the years be kind to their relationship and may their love grow strong like the oak that this box is carved from.
