    Default Carved crochet box

    My wife needed a box for her crochet tools, so I headed down to the workshop...

    Rather than agonise too much about which precious pieces of wood I was going to use, I just got some pine board from the big green toy store and tried out a few new techniques on that. From the deep relief carving to the raised panel lid (done by sliding sideways across the tablesaw) to the mitred corners with contrasting inserts, to the rounding of the outside of the box. It was lots of fun, and she's very happy with the result...

    Good things come to those who wait, and sail right past those who don't reach out and grab them.

    Nicely done.

    You should get a few brownie points for that effort!

    If that’s just trying out a few new techniques, I’m looking forward to your serious efforts

    Lovely work.

    Looks awesome!

    What did you use for the stippling in the center of the flower?
