Excellent work. My father and I have made hundreds of these from size 000 to
9. The wood is excellent.
On those that we make, the pins holding the top and bottoms inside their
respective bands are made of wood. Also, the small nails used to form the
bands are copper.
Those are just nit picking, because I think you work is fantastic.

Man, go away for a few weeks, come back, and find that now you, also, have
made a faux POV (pho-POV?) (a detailed photograph that you try to pass off
as a POVRay creation.)
That's absolutely fantastic.

I have a couple of books that I used for reference photos, both of which had
lots of new boxes, as well as Shaker antiques. I tried to create a box that
looked the way a new box may have appeared circa 1850's. To do that, I
combined some things from the old and the new. I did notice that most (or
at least some) of the new boxes used the wooden pins, but most of the older
boxes used metal tacks, as far as I could tell.
Some quick Googling makes me think you're right about the copper tacks. I
should change to a copper color. Also, I see a lot of antique boxes with
what appear to be wooden pins/tacks for the fingers. I wonder if their
methods switched at some point.
