Matt, I couldn't agree more with your comments regarding flocking and bandsaw boxes.
So with the Chestnut. If new chestnut trees were planted, could it now survive? Could you even find Chestnut seeds to begin with? How does this play out with other species that have died out?
Great discussion on reclaimed materials but I was disappointed that there were no tool bombs!
Matt, the proper answer to what NOT to do when making boxes my be "Not making them."
