My box from @alecnetwoodworks! (2 Viewers)

After discovering this forum around a year ago, I finally pulled the trigger on a custom set of CPC chips (which are coming soon hopefully). To go with them, I decided to get a box from @alecnetwoodworks after seeing some awesome photos and reading others' rave reviews. I just got the box, and wow, it's awesome.

The quality of the work is incredible; pictures can't really do it justice. On top of that, working with Alec was an absolute pleasure. He's hyper-responsive throughout the entire process. And for someone like me who wasn't totally sure of what I was looking for at times, Alec made a lot of great suggestions and was able to explain what different choices would mean for the box.

I went with the sapele wood, per Alec's suggestion.

For anyone thinking of working with Alec, I really cannot recommend it enough.

Looks very nice!
Maybe it's just me, but almost every wood tray I've seen looks very shallow. Curious if there is a reason they aren't deeper besides that being as close as bit can get due to chuck or bit shaft diameter.
If only a few chips are taken from a rack do the remaining tip over easily?

Thank you!
Not sure on the logic behind the depth but so far I haven't had any issue with chips falling over
