Thread: Beryl's Bucket List

Beryl has a bucket list and one item on that list was a box to put her husbands and fathers war medals in. She gave me a size and chose Blackwood for the box. I didn't think the Blackwood was a suitable choice and thought it warranted something more formal so without telling her i made it from Red Cedar. Beryl also requested vintage style hardware and Maroon velvet lining to match her husbands beret. Maroon was not available so i bought the closest which was Burgundy. She wanted no fancy stuff, just a nice box.







Before i unwrapped it i told her what i had done and she looked skeptical but when she saw it she was glad i made the change, so much in fact that she ordered another exactly the same for her daughter.
