    Default Huon Pine box.

    001.JPG002.JPGGroovers, A box I made for my oldest sons keepsakes. Half blind dovetails, Coopered lid(first time ever), Small trinket drawer inside and felt lined bottom and top. Finish is several coats of blonde shellac followed by the good wax and elbow grease. Damien.new2013 136.JPGnew2013 135.JPGnew2013 138.JPGnew2013 139.JPG

    Nice work. The coopering came up well, as did the shellac finish.

    That's one good looking box. The knots in the Huon really give it life.
    Nice work.

    Thanks Steve. I used blonde dewaxed shellac for the first time and found it to be very easy to use and built up a nice finish quickly. Damien

    For most of my stuff I've used poly, but lately tried Teak oil and Danish oil with good results. It's time I took the step and gave shellac a try too, I think. You've convinced me. (Been meaning to for a while.)
