    Default Myrtle,Australian Cedar and Celery Top Pine hinged box.

    This is a box i made two years ago for a project in grade eight.
    thought i would show off my terrible skills.
    The top is made from a piece of australian cedar my dad found on an old chest of draws. Joined with halving joints then Rabbeted for top and bottom to sit in.
    finished with french pollish and beeswax.
    had fun with this and learnt alot of skills that i would learn the next year in woodwork at school :P.
    i hope the photos work.
    comments appreciated

    Not bad for a young bloke.
    You've done a nice job on it, the joints don't look to bad, and you've obviously worked on the finish. I'm sure you can see faults in it that we can't, but I reckon you've probably improved a bit since then. Well done.

    thank you alex

    yes there are so faults in it like dont mark old cedar with a pencil.
    and the alignment of top and bottom is off a bit.
    but you always learn from your mistakes

    toby.
