Chocolately Lemon Box with its Icing

Love the wood choice. Great job.

It looks incredible with the finish on it Greg. You could always go for round to with the walnut.

I too have experimented with a lot of different finishes and have come to a similar conclusion. I was suprised that the water based darkened it as much as the others. At any rate, it looks great as expected.

That is a cool wood combo Greg.
And the finish came out really nicely.

-- Eric

Maybe not what you were after, but nice nonetheless. You may have to change the name of it to something else. There, problem solved. :)

I think the wedge makes for an outstanding contrast. I suppose walnut would be okay too. Anyway, that “Dark Chocolate Lemon Box” looks great to me.

Greg, Your designs & workmanship on these boxes is unsurpassed. To maintain the color you want you might try a couple coats of sanding sealer, sand & take to your local Auto Body Shop & have them clear coat it while they are spraying something else, (if they are good guys they propabbly will not charge you anything) I find that this gives you an absolutey beautiful, durable, high gloss finish & makes the wood colors really “pop”. If you decide to use this process you can purchase a touch up spray gun for about $150 or less & do it yourself. I have a sample of this process left over from my trial & error process I can send you if you want. Let me know. Keep up the good work & new designs. I always look forward to seeing them on LJ….....................Jack
