Retirement Shadow Box Retirement Shadow Box Retirement Shadow Box Click the pictures to enlarge them

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.
