Granddaughters box

Sweet Looking Box & cute granddaughter.

-- Dennis Zongker

Gorgeous box! I’d love to have some of those woods “just laying around”, to be able to make something that nice when someone dropped by.

Beautiful box. The two of you not only made a box, but also memories for a lifetime, and she looks pleased.

-- Brian, Lebanon PA, If you aren’t having fun doing it, find something else to do.

Ah, to be so young that a pair of safety glasses practically can be used as a face shield! That is one nice looking box!

What a wonderful story, and an awesome project. Isn’t the top called curly maple or tiger maple or something like that? I had the privilege of using wood like this once. It is sooo beautiful!!! Besides making the beautiful box you made a memory that will last forever. Will we see Gabrielle here in the future being a Lumberjockette? I hope sooo. Beautiful Box!

You two not only created a great box, but memories that will live on forever. Thanks for sharing.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

Now thats what I call a special box for a special little girl. I can’t wait till I can do some stuff with my grand kids when they get a liitle older. Thanks for posting.

God Bless

I agree with Cov. Gabrielle’s smile in the last pic speaks volumes about the true value of that project. What a memory! Awesome job ampeater! (and the box isn’t bad, either!)

-- Dominic, Trinity, Florida...Lets be safe out there.

She will cherish it for the rest of her life. Very meaningful experience, and nice box too.

How wonderful it must have been to be together and to create such a beautiful memory and keepsake at the same time : )
She is so tiny and the safety glasses do look like a face shield as mentioned above .
Her smile says it all , Grampa :)
