Mike, that was an amazing piece both gorgeously designed and gorgeously made.

I’ve been lurking in the background watching loads of your older videos. My interest was sparked by watching my father who had much more rudimentary tools turning out various boxes bowls and occasional furniture when I was a child in 1950’s. Love your work, especially this box and your lovely daughter’s reaction when she realised it was hers. I hope she treasures it as long as I have, some of the pieces my father made all those years ago.

Awesome! Your daughter "stole the show!" Great job!
