Thread: A Couple Pair of Twins

Hi Everyone

I've been a little slow on getting these done, medical stuff, but a few boxes of simple design - LKV - patterns. Needed to use up a bit more of the 'beetle pine' I have. Started by making six blocks and getting them cut -- back in the warm weather.. got them sanded from 100g to 320g, focused on a couple pair of the the blocks;

1. the first pair are the Pod pattern from LKV , modified a bit. Dropped the center drawer depth down on the original to add a drawer pull instead of the lower finger pull. The small left is 5"w x 4"H x 3 3/4" D, and the right one is an inch longer (6") .

Both have Mahogany pulls, and are finished with 4 coats of BLO and waxed. The drawer interiors are flocked, one in a light blue and the other in what was to be an Olive green but got the wrong shade.

2. the second pair are the Peace Doves from LKV , These are 8"w x 4"h x 3 1/2" d and 9 3/4"w 4 1/2"h x 3 1/2" d. Both are finished with a Colonial Maple stain on the carcass and a Fruitwood stain on the drawers. I think it gives a nice easy contrast and suits the pattern. The drawer pulls are light Cedar -. Final finish is 4 coats of clear shellac and a waxing.

Interiors; a blue felt for the smaller box - needs a very light cutting at a points on the edges (bit of fuzz) ., The larger Peace Dove - flocked the interior with a chocolate brown - twice - .. used an acrylic paint for the glue / adhesive - don't know what happened but managed to get a speckling thru the flocking. Can't see it in normal light. !! Might have to go it again with a good scraping out. Someday .
