    Default Piano Pen Box

    Thought I would post this in the box making forum being it is sort of a box.

    This is my entry into the 2018 IAP Bash Pen Box Contest. It is a replica of a Grand Piano. It is a combination pen box and music box. The box was constructed using various tools and jigs. The interior is finished in a Cardinal Red flocking. The keys were cut from pieces of white and black acrylic pen blanks.There is a brass plate behind the keys. The top has a clear plexiglass insert in the center to show off both the pen and also the musical movement that plays Elvis' "Love Me Tender" theme. It plays when the box is open and shuts off when closed as most music boxes do. There are musical themed decals on the top of the glass to enhance it. The box was finished in black lacquer. This was a fun little box for that special pen. Hope you like it.

    Can't say i love it but i am intrigued by its uniqueness and i applaud you for that. How long did it take to complete?

    I worked on it off and on for about 4 weeks. It for a contest and I like to do something other than a simple box with fancy wood grain. I did not win anyway. Took second place.
