Thread: Before and after

A really nice box! Congratulations.

Opps sorry, should have said this is the main drawer of a new box. There is a competition with a closing date looming just over the horizon, so that is all I can show at this time!

Well what ever it is it still looks bloody good to me!

I think you have done a great job on this box.

Beautiful bandsaw box! Well done on sanding and finishing.

To accentuate this grain feature Whittle Waxes Wood Filler was used to fill the deep voids. see http://www.whittlewaxes.com.au/whitt...es-Wood-Filler. Use of the Whittle Waxes Wood Filler clear resin, together with saw dust from the surrounding provided a far better finish when compared with the white PVA glue or shellac, as the resin took on the surrounding timber colour.

An excellent result, as when the area was fine sanded (2000 grit) it did not have it's own shiny surface so often found when using PVA or shellac fillers.

Excellent work. Always nice to find a fault that can be used to effect, which you have.
