Dick and bride—Congratulations on 57 years, and she’s still your sweetheart. That is so wonderful. Nice box, too.

Dick this is a great project. I really like the finish you put on this piece. This is certainly a case of “thinking outside of the box”.

Thanks for sharing.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Thanks Guys, that why it’s lasting so long, she’s always waiting for me. LOL

The purified linseed oil is kind of expensive, but I save money on Beeswax.

I buy wax toilet bowl rings for $1.00. LOL

Dick your work is always impressive. WOW 57 years! I thought that I had accomplished something making my 40th Anniversary earlier this month – good for you guys. I can see, based on you work to come up with a finish for this box, why you guys have survived 57 years – You are a Good Man.

Dick, this is a great box!

Beautiful box and sentiment. And made from wood you wanted when it was still a tree. That’s the long view if woodworking and of marriage. You’re to be congratulated on both counts.
