This is what I like about our craft, when confronted with what appears to be a problem - wham a stunning Innovation is created~!

Well done, when can we expect the next stunner!

Hi PTC

The box looks fantastic! Congrats on finishing it and beating all the problems. The shape on the top has really brought out the lovely Sass grain, and the huon is such a great contrast!

Cheers

Stunning box PTC.
I wasn't in to bandsawn boxes myself - prefering the more conventional type, but looking at yours, I will have to rethink that.

It is a nice bit of BH Sassafrass too.

What did you finish it with?
SWMBO wants a jewellery box in the same timber, and I normally finish with a Danish Oil / PolyU mixture, but I'm worried this will alter the colours and "muddy" them a bit?
The finished colour on yours seems quite OK so I would be interested to know what you used.

Thank you all for the nice comments.

Tony I like the new word for stuff ups (innovation).wonderfull.!

Chris
finish is eee ubeaut rubbed well in and then buffed off by hand
then ubeaut traditional wax 2 coats. it really works.

No 11,
I'm looking round the shed, and have a couple of burls that might get
attacked.
