Project Information

I had to make a box to replace the last one I made cause my wife and I know my daughters favorite color is purple. So there are a few changes but for the most part it's a copy. The 4 sides and the top are raised. I added a tray this time. First I painted it gray then flocked it with purple paint to try and get it a close match to the purple heart wood. It's 12'' x 7×6'' ht. Finished with satin lacquer. Purple heart and maple. Thanks for taking a look.

Like this a lot. The handles on the tray are real nice and the woods-maple/purple=heart-really compliment each other. You did good on this one!

Hey Dave, what a beautiful box, the purple hear and maple are a great match. I am sure your daughter will love it. I liked the first box you made but for some reason I like this one more….great job Dave and thanks for sharing.

Hey Jason, thanks , I hope she digs it too.

Hi John, I think I'm addicted to raised panels. I enjoy them too. Thanks.

jaykaypur, thanks. The dowel rod handles were a after thought when I figured it would be easier to pick up the tray with something.

Thanks for the compliment Dave. It makes me feel as good as if it were for me.

a1Jim, the 100,000 + man, takes a lick'n and keeps on tick'n. Thank you, the wood should take most of the credit.

Nice! I like the 'framed panels' design and the maple/purpleheart play nicely together. Monte just gave me a nice purpleheart board so I'm looking forward to my first purple sawdust.

Tony, kdc68, Jerry, thanks for all your support. You all do some great work.

gfadvm Andy, thank you. I can't wait to see what you come up with. Just don't walk in the house with the purple heart dust on your shoes. It's not cool.

That is one standout box buddy. I love the combination of purple heart with the maple.
