Beautiful!
The first toe pincher lumber parts fit together well, but the second one didn't. Although the newer models may have a better design, the lid and bottom on the second casket seemed too small for the hexagon, although all the vertical seams were fairly tight. The photo is of the best casket, which we did first.
