Walnut Keepsake Box

Project by ejv posted 450 days ago 635 views 4 times favorited 17 comments Add to Favorites Watch

The box is 1/2” walnut roughly 12” x 8” x 4” finished with Tung oil and wax. It was built as a gift for friends that just had their second child so that they will have a place for all of the keepsakes collected in the years to come.

This is a beautiful box that will make a fine gift. It has nice simple lines and you did an excellent job on bringing out the beauty of the walnut.

Nicely done!!!

Thanks for the comments, everyone. Slacker, the coves were done on the table saw feeding the material at an angle across the blade.
