Pecan Box

What a lovely little box Betsy. Is it a lift lid or hinged? I really like the beveled top and finger notch – well done!

Thanks Bill – it’s a lift lid. It’s pretty small only about 3.5×5.

Very nice Betsy. The sites getting so busy these gems almost slip through. Glad I caught this and thanks for posting.

Ya Betsy. We usually put out pecans in a bowl with the nut cracker.

I almost didn’t go looking at this. The description was deceiving.

A great little box. What do you make for someone when you know them a little better.

Very nice looking little box, Betsy. You can’t go wrong with a gift like that. Pecan is beautiful wood, isn’t it?

Thanks guys.

Blake – pecan is one of my favorite woods. I have a piece now that I’m saving for one of those “it’s speaking to me moments.”

Karson – for those I know better they get stuff like tables for their bird cages, the bird cage (don’t have a picture of that – but it was a doozy), shelving units, bookcases, boxes etc.

This little gem was a last minute, opps – she’s getting married and I don’t have a gift thing. It took about 4 hours tops and it’s a one coat of Waterlox with Renisance (spelling) wax on top of that. Like I said – last minute!

It’s a worthy little box, Besty. Nice!
