Jason made Jude the Cadillac of sandboxes. It has a beautiful hinged cover that acts as a deck.

The lid is not only cool, it's necessary:
The sandbox is made entirely of salvaged wood, sealed with low-VOC protectant, and filled with all natural beach sand. This thing is all kinds of awesome, as is the incredible man who made it. Jude is, of course, totally over the moon about it.
