A different type box...

Project by Vjer posted 656 days ago 513 views 2 times favorited 15 comments Add to Favorites Watch

I covered an entryway with cedar shake shingles for a neighbor of mine. There was some left over and she asked me if I could do something with them. We were standing in front of her house when I looked at her mail box and told her yeah. The box is made from old fence board. The post that it is on is from a cedar tree that I had to cut down at my house. It is a general store and of course a pony express office. I wished I had a pic of her mailbox before, but here is some after pics…

This is a unique mailbox. I have not seen anything to compare to this. It certainly was an original idea.

Now thats one heck of a mailbox. That would almost make me want to rush out and get the daily
delivery of bills.

You’re amazing Vjer, the creativity and vision for a project like this (and others you have posted), then the woodworking skills to back them up. Really wonderful… keep them coming. Thanks.
