This is a new sort of fail.  I was pumped by box 8 into thinking I had gotten somewhere intrinsically past where I had been – had gotten better, but not really and far from it.  It’s not that it’s abysmal so much as verging on pathetic.  It looks nice and it’s OK but the cuts are just not accurate.  The attempted joint was interesting – two fingers + a miter on each corner but apparently I cannot identify or produce a 45 degree angle to save my life.  Soft maple.  Mulberry is the lid, that seems a nice wood.
