Retirement Shadow Box

Project by Masterchief posted 520 days ago 491 views 2 times favorited 10 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Here is the beginning stages of a shadow box I am constructing for a good friend. The box is made of Texas Pecan and I used Maple for the drawers. The stain is Watco’s walnut oil. The overall dimensions are 36”W x 4”D x 34”T. I still need to attach the left and right doors to the box. I will post the final build with contents once finished.
