Project Information
This started out as an art supply storage box but for a special friend but got out of control trying to make it a bit nicer so it will be a keepsake box instead. The body is walnut, lid panel is figured walnut, maple and figured maple trim and tray, mother of pearl wings, abalone body and a couple of small cubic zirconia on the antenna. The liner is a thin foam pad so the color choices were limited but it should be durable. This is the first project I've named and as soon as I wrote the name in permanent marker on the bottom I wanted to change it, oh well. It's for a very old friends 25 year old daughter, at 18 she became quadriplegic but has since started to get some use of her arms and hands and is learning to paint so I thought I'd do something to encourage her to keep at it. Actually it's a trade, something I made for one of her paintings.
