Gene, those are really cool looking boxes. Sorry about the problems with the legs, but they turned out looking really nice.



As far as a finish you might try the Bee's wax/mineral oil mixture. I think there is a video posted here with the directions on mixing it up. I did a batch a few weeks back and it was pretty easy. It is a child safe finish.

Thanks John, for the finishing tip.


I'm anxious to see that chest after the finish. I'll bet it's really gonna pop!

Gene, here is the link to the video for the non-toxic finish. Sorry I meant to post it earlier for you.

Thanks a lot to both you and Greg. Great video of a simple process for a nice toy finish.


I wonder what would be the result of dipping an object into the warm, still liquid solution? Hmmmmm.

Gene, I don't see where that would be a problem, other than have some excess to wipe off in areas that you can't get into. If it's warm enough to be fairly thin it should work out good. Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
