    Default couldn't wait....

    I have been making a couple of boxes using a new method (well, new to me) and will be posting a WIP when they are finished but, after sanding and applying the first coat of shellac .... I couldn't wait!

    Thanks all, I should get the WIP posted tomorrow ... provided I can separate the lids and mount hinges without any drama. If not, I'll be posting a postmortem.
    Yes Greg, Australian red cedar but I had used up all I got from you and was unfaithful and bought from another! The panels and splines are huon pine. Given the reason for the boxes they had to be special australian timbers and I can't think of anything more special, appropriate and practical than Oz red cedar and huon pine.
