Project Information

Use it for whatever your needs are… that's what I told my son. Made from canary wood and the inlay is a strip of purpleheart. I used my Leigh jig and router to make the finger joints and the lid is a floating panel. I used my router table to make a groove to put in the inlay strip. The inner trays were hollowed out with forstner bits and a flocking kit was used to line the trays an inside of the box. Sanded to 180 grit. The finish is a single rub of clear Watco danish oil and then 5 coats of shellac. As for my son's needs, it holds everything from baseball cards to hiding candy from his sisters. I guess it's just what he needed after all!

lobro4,
Congrats on a great looking box! I'm sure your son will treasure it for many years to come, or at least until his sisters leave his candy alone!-LOL I really like the Canary Wood so easy to work with and a pleasant smell as well. I see your Canary Wood came with free insect tunnels also. Seems like most all the Canary Wood I get has the same tunneling charecteristics. Congrats again and Keep on keeping on.

Sincerely,
Ken McGinnis

Looks like a chest that stored the kings taxes that Robin Hood and his merry men would relieve from their keeping. Quite appropriate, being he's storing his treasure from his sisters.
