This is the first box I have made for Loving Hands Memory Boxes.  It was sent to a couple on Woodnet that needed one.

I tried 9 times to make boxes out of Pine before I finally got the last one the way I wanted.  It is made from Rosewood that someone gave me.  I did have the middle of the lid made from a nice piece of Curly Maple, however, I flubbed that nice piece of wood up.  So I made some changes and made it from 1/8 plexiglass instead.  I sprayed the whole thing with Clear Poly semigloss.  It cam out good, however, I do not like how the Poly flowed out very well.

Very nice Arlin!

Nice. The couple will cherish it, I'm sure.

It it can't be fixed with glue and sawdust - it's not worth fixing.

Very nice Arlin. I'm sure they will love it.

Very nice work. It's sad you needed to make it.

Very nice Arlin, That will house very nicely their cherished memories.

 

Great job on the build and the finish.
