Project Information
Hot off the finishing bench. Pair of oak keepsake boxes. The basic design for these I stole from someone else, then tweaked it so no one will notice. Maybe?
The tops were a tad problematic for assembly, as I had to stain all the parts beforehand. I had to make certain the central panels kept their natural color. These were stained with achohol-base ebony, then sanded out. Made entirely of white oak, except for the top center and base of the darker one, which is Holm oak.
For the Holm oak one, I had to trim the carcass slighty because the lid was a little tight.
The Holm oak top is bookmatched.
Dim: 10cm X 10cm
Finished with spray laquer, gloss.
Padded real velvet bottom panels, which can be removed if need be.
Still need to do a tiny bit of polishing on the brass with some steel-wool.
One of these boxes will be donated to my son´s christmas charity raffle at school.
Thanks for viewing.
