Hmmmm....the Prince Albert box

I reckon that lit is spot on. The dowel idea is very clever, and the rod is a tiny detail that makes all the difference.

Harry72, you have too much time on your hands.

**Andy Mac** · 13th April 2006, 01:53 PM

DPB,
I think that knob is a definite improvement

, although I'm not sold on the piercing! I reckon it could have worked if it went through horizontally, but now I'm just getting picky!! This box now comes with a range of lids to suit the most discerning buyer.

Overall a really nice job, and greenie on the way.

Cheers,

Google, my son, Google. But maybe you'd rather not know

**Andy Mac** · 13th April 2006, 03:24 PM

Yeah I think I'm following you, but not keen to find pictorial explanation...I think we're having a BBQ on the weekend.

Cheers,

Sorry to prolong this thread, but I have finished the Stilt Box using sanding sealer, then when dry, sanded with 0000 steel wool dipped in Ubeaut's EEE-Ultra Shine and finally a very thin coat of Ubeaut Traditional Wax.

Both Huon Pine and Ebony lend themselves to a very smooth finish, but the application of the polish and wax have left this piece smoother than the proverbial baby's butt. At the same time, I eased all the edges which, I believe, adds to the sensuous look and feel of this box. I should also say that I'm thrilled with the way this finish has brought out the rather unusual grain on the Huon, which can sometimes be quite boring when it comes to grain.

And best of all, she now likes it!

Look great Don. Just one question though.

Isn't the EEE suposed to go on last ? I didn't think you could put a finish over it. :confused:

(Maybe I'll have to read the book again)

The second lid seems to suit better than version one. Not sure about the piercing but a very attractive box.
