I love the “reversible” aspect to it.

This is one sweet “small wooden box”

Gorgeous Dick, is Barb allergic to the spalting like I am? Another thing that covers it completely is mirror coat. They use it on bar tops. You can get it through Woodcraft. It’s like epoxy. Except you can see through it and it doesn’t yellow. Beautiful project. mike

Very nice!

Great job.

-- Gary, East TX -- The longest journey begins with a single step.

I am really enjoying watch a beautiful piece of wood turn into a beautiful box. Very cool.

Thanks for all of the fine comments!

I have explain about Barb’s allergies. She is multi-chemical sensitive, just about anything that has an odor, like

perfumes, paints, smoke, & flowers, even the fumes from popping corn bothers her.

She had Lyme disease about 18 years ago, & it threw her immune system all out of whack.

That’s why I’ve started using Mineral Oil, & Beeswax. Besides that it’s very cheap, compared to all the other finishes on the market. LOL

I can use other finishes, but they have to stay out in my shop until all of the chemicals evaporate.

The Thorsen table I made last spring had to stay in the shop about 1 1/2 months.

God bless

This is really nice, Dick. I like how organic the design is. I’m sure Barb will love it and it’s a great project for the new saw. What are the rough dimensions?

-- Jeff, St. Paul, MN
