Pennsylvania Spice Box

pennsylvania spice box.skpI think I have too much free time on my hands. I spent most of the day modeling a classic spice box, based on one made by Pennsylvania cabinetmaker Doug Mooberry for the May 1997 issue of Fine Woodworking. Lots of dovetails--for the carcase as well as for the nine drawers. Plus a tombstone-style raised-panel door. I added Brusso hinges and an escutcheon from Whitechapel, Ltd.
Let me know what you think.All best for the New Year,

Excellent work David. You need to get out to the shop and turn something.

Thanks, Dave.
I'd love to get out to the shop, but . . .
I'd have to shovel a path through the six inches of snow that fell yesterday,
Then, I'd have to finish the shelving unit that my wife wants in an upstairs room,
Then, I'd have to sweep up all the shavings from my last turning project,
Then, I'd have to put away all the tools I left out from previous projects,
Then, I'd have to sharpen my turning tools,
Then, I'd have to go find some new wood to put on the lathe,
Then, I'd have to figure out what I wanted to turn.So I think I'll just take a nap instead.

With all that looming over me, I would take a nap, too.
