Very beautiful work

Those are beautiful boxes. I love that finish you put on them. It looks hand rubbed.
Nice going…........Jim

Magnificent as always. Great attention to detail, which makes your work outstanding. Your work provides lessons for all who view, and set a goal for others to achieve.
Thank you for showing.

Beautiful work!!

Those are just awesome. I’m impressed with your extreme attention to detail (even lined the slots in the screws up!). It doesn’t get any better than these. How did you achieve that finish with MW Poly??? I know you didn’t just wipe it on and call it good!

Thank you everyone!
gfadvm – I flood the first few coats on first then when it has hardened for at least two days another light coat then a light sand with 320 another light coat and sand with 2000 wet and dry and the last coat goes on thick.
The product can be challenging but when you understand that each new coat melts the layer below you realise that speed is the trick and dont play with it or will go dull on you. Oh yes I use a clean lint free cloth for the application.
I still prefer French polish though!
Merry Christmas everyone.

It’s quite obvious you put a lot of care and detail into these boxes. They are absolutely beautiful. You certainly picked out awesome hinges – I took a look at their website the other day.

I’m sure your gifts will be great hits.

Thanks Peter and have a great Christmas.
