Popular Post jttheclockman Posted February 27, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 This is my entry into the 2018 IAP Bash Pen Box Contest. It is a replica of a Grand Piano. It is a combination pen box and music box. The box was constructed using various tools and jigs. The interior is finished in a Cardinal Red flocking. The keys were cut from pieces of white and black acrylic pen blanks.There is a brass plate behind the keys. The top has a clear plexiglass insert in the center to show off both the pen and also the musical movement that plays Elvis' "Love Me Tender" theme. It plays when the box is open and shuts off when closed as most music boxes do. There are musical themed decals on the top of the glass to enhance it. The box was finished in black lacquer. This was a fun little box for that special pen. Hope you like it. Harry Brink, Chips N Dust, lew and 11 others 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jttheclockman Posted March 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 I want to thank everyone for the kind words and no I did not win. I took second place. Seems people do not know what they are looking at. The difference is you all are woodworkers to the core and realize what goes into a project like that. Those that voted are basically pen turners and they like to see colors and the project that won was a simple box with exotic woods used. Not yelly sour grapes but I am happy with what I did. Next year I may just make an elaborate simple box and see how it plays. Cal, HARO50, Grandpadave52 and 2 others 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
