    Default Latest Box

    This is my latest box made from White Cedar with Deer Antler knobs, also my first attempt using flock. I am not real happy with the knobs, after fitting them I saw some that had been turned, these would have looked much better.

    Now that is a new concept for bandsawn boxes ~ well done.

    An original design and concept, a design and concept worthy of development.

    Message: to the people who publish books and to the lazy who plagiarise original works - be warned ~ this is a Don Mc. original and will remain so.

    Hi David.
    I brushed on a coat of Wattle sanding sealer, when dry (2 days) I sanded it back and using an air brush sprayed three coats of Estapol, light sanding between coats.
    The type of soil that the tree is grown in has a lot to do with the colour, it can make the colour lighter or darker.

    Me and Mine?

    Mine and Yours?

    A bit unimaginative, considering how superp it is
