Grandson's Treasure Box

image image

A treasure box for my 6 YO grandson to replace his cigar box. Priimary joinery is dovetail with dowelmax for top and bottom attachment. Band was done on the router table. Poly sprayed finish. Simple design to take the hard knocks of a young boys life.

Douglas Krueger home \| projects \| blog 379 posts in 619 days posted 350 days ago	Michael S., the wood is a local Thailand species called mai padoo and always has red heartwood wrapped with several inches of blond sap wood. See the burl table in my projects for a visual explanation. http://lumberjocks.com/assets/pictures/projects/22483.jpg The finish is several coats of air sprayed poly and hand rubbed with 1500 sandpaper. -- I can so I wood but why are my learning curves always circles
