The mailbox is shaping up nicely. After a quick coat of stain (Minwax Provincial) on the bottom panel which will be floating, I glued up the mailbox.
I cut 1.5" off the solid top and glued it on top of the mailbox. This way when the mailbox is opened there will be sufficient angle in the top to lean against the house while the mailbox is filled or emptied.
I dropped the top off at a local engraver who will laser engrave 'Post' into the top. Once I get it back I'll stain and finish the piece. I still haven't picked out the hinges yet - I'll get some the next time I hit a hardware store.
Here's the image that I gave him to engrave :
