    Default Simple Box with Embroidery

    My wife spent many many hours creating an embroidery for her mother. To show it off to full effect a wooden box was in order. I am only a beginner at this caper, but I think it turned out OK.

    Silky Oak top, Jarrah base and mystery timber from an old bed headboard in between. The silky oak was difficult to finish - should have read this forum first to get the lowdown on grain-filling.

    Merry Christmas

    Simple but very nice. A keepsake for sure Graeme.

    Thanks for the encouragement.

    Santa bought me a brand new Leigh Dovetailing jig - guess what my next post will feature.

    Happy New Year

    Well done Graeme. We have a box like this one at home (purchased) and the embroidery is on the inside to protect it from light, damage etc. If interested I could send you a photo but I will not put it on the Forum because it's not my own work. Your wife would be interested in the embroidery.
