2 Coats and rubbings of BLO and after 2 weeks of air drying a coat of Johnson Paste Wax.. Thanks for the comment, I thought it turned out O.K. for my 1st box. The fun part was drying it in the microwave and the glue-up. This was hand planed as I have no jointer or planer and cut with an okd style hand miterbox. The corners were rounded with a hand rasp before finishing sanding it by hand with 220 grit and finally some 400 grit. Truly from Log to box in about 3 days excluding the drying time

Very nice box and congratulations on your anniversary.
When all is said and done, there is usually a whole lot more said than done.

Nice grain in that box and well done with the making of it.
It's a good feeling to go from totally raw product to finished article.
