Good work Tim. I always like to see good joinery. Your construction is solid and the design is good. I always offer a caveat on chests with a lid. Think about a safety lid support. Even a light lid can fall pretty hard. Little ones like to peek over and see what’s inside. Great work and thanks for showing it.

Excellent low string follow on those bows, Tim. Nice!!
That middle one with recurved tips appears have zero follow - EXTRA nice.
The box looks good too. ;D

 If you look closely there is one on each on the right side.

I still have a few of the ones I made. They haven't been shot in 10 years. Would have to teach them to bend again.
