Thank you all for the kind words.
I admit to being a little proud of that little project myself --
Was interested in some unbiased opinions from people who knew woodworking.
Bob -
Help yourself -- I am flattered.
The basic design goes back at least to the 1700's.
My only real 'contribution' was the peg 'hinge' and slot that let the top be split in half.
Dave -
I'm going to take 'unique' as a compliment -
- because that's kinda the niche I think I fit in. What I see as one of the biggest benefits of handmade furniture -- being able to get specifically what you want --- when your tastes or needs don't exactly match those of the 'mass market'.
Harry / Greg -
I'll just answer that one the way she would ----
Whaaatevvvvverrrr
Thanks again - it's nice when people who know what they are talking about appreciate your work.
