Did you make it from a plan ?

I designed the box after seeing what was commercially available. It is very functional on a long range fishing boat offshore. I have made 15 so far.
Wow, that is a seriously good looking box. It seems a pity to mess it up with smelly fish bait and stuff. :biggrin:

Beautiful Mark! Is that teak and a spar varnish or other finish? And are the ss tubes holders for something?

African Mahogany and several thin coats of spar varnish
My "go to" wood for these boxes is African mahogany and I usually hand rub many coats of diluted and expensive spar varnish. The marine environment is harsh, but this method has been successful and looks great.

Really nice work. Is this very heavy empty?

Heavy?
The empty box with plastic trays inside weighs about 17 pounds. Mine weighs quite a bit more with all the tackle I can fit in. I only move it from trunk to cart, cart to boat and back again when I return from fishing.

That would make for a very stable box. Good for long off shore trips but keep it in the cabin....
VERY NICE...

Here are a few including my Costa Rican guanacaste wood box; the kind of wild walnut looking one in the top center. They live outside in the elements for 8-15 days several times a year. We bungee them in place for when the seas are rough.
