A beautiful storage box for an equally beautiful took Don....Well done my friend!!! It might even deserve a nice brass engraved nameplate for the top or front of the box too Bill
What a nice box, Don. It adds even more value to the heirloom tool that you've created! Is that red oak?Simon

Hi Don What a nice box to ensure your Dividing Head is kept in pristine condition. Why not treat it to a green felt lining? It does make a pleasant change to do a bit of woodwork, well done. Cheers David
I've wondered about flocking myself.I'm coming to the conclusion that I wouldn't do it. At most I might stick in some of the removable black liner used in tool chests.But that kind of takes away from the look.I'm thinking I'd leave it alone. Let it get oil-stained and dinged. Over time it will add a lot of character.Make a nameplate and attach it. Include a year. That's the kind of box some kid is going to come across years from now and that will add some meaning to it.
You could line it with gator skin, soak the oil right up Whiskey
