This box started out as step stool someone gave away on Craigslist. It was a mess when I got it. It was a broken down pile of dirty boards. I salvaged what wood I could and put it on my self. Months later, my Sister requested a box to store pictures. This is what I came up with. It’s stained with 3 coats of Transtint red mahogany dye stain and finished with 3 coats of satin Arm-R-Seal. I sealed it with shellac first and completely sanded it down again to seal the wood to prevent blotching. I tried out locking rabbit joints on this one. I didn’t have to fill too many gaps, so…not so bad! ;)
