Oh yeaaaaaaaaaaaa....I didn't even notice that change until you mentioned it, lol. I did notice that she is a wee bit bigger than my other Destroyer and I knew that the door was going to be thicker, because Cappy said it would be. She seems to be a bit 'heftier' and more 'durable' I wanna say? lol. She's simply AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!
I am playing with them more now, testing this and that to see what looks good and what doesn't improve it much.
That cocobolo wood has to be one of the most dense woods I've worked with, hence the weight of it. But for all that it has a bad habit of warping after being cut so I left the door thicker and put more finish on it. Yeah I know, it's weird but it likes to warp even being dense like it is.
All the boxes start out the same size, but by the time I am done with them they all vary a bit in size from all the sanding and shaping I do. Besides the insides which is done by the little cnc machine the rest is done by hand with traditional tools![]()
