    Default Just off the saw horse Money Box

    I decided that I needed somewhere to keep my change, the box is made from Myrtle with a burl insert. Construction was straight forward and the finish is brown polish and wax.

    One problem I had was getting the tassel, I went into the tassel shop and asked the young lady if she had any good tassels, if me wife had not been with me I think that I would have been in about 40 different kinds of trouble.

    Phil - Maaaate!!! Nice Money Box, though I'm glad I won't be the one lifting it when it's full

    Yep, I reckon that would have been 40 rounds of trouble you didn't need (or get)

    Cheers

    Phil, what a lovely piece. What is the timbers used in the making and also the finish? Please.

    When you fill it I think that the handles will come off in you're hands. To heavy.

    I used Myrtle for the carcase the insert is a slab of burl (I can't remember the species) the stringing is Huon Pine and the finosh is briwn polish (shelac) and wax.

    I am worried about the handles also.

    The fact remains, that 97% of all statistics are made up, yet 87% of the population think they are real.

    Hi Steve

    The flocking is a peal and stick type I got it from the Woodsmith in Melbourne.

    If any one knows where I can get a good flocking please let me know.
