Smallpatch 13,497 Posted May 30, 2020 Report Gene, don't know yet but am thinking about the carving staying natural and all the rest a dark mahogany.. But when the time comes green might be in my blood stream... Did you see the picture of the sides I shaped from 1" maple... All the trim most places sells is soft wood so I would have had to order somewhere. Long ways to go on this box yet. Haven't even started on the insides.... but for now have switched over to a couple others while the thoughts were still there on things I wanted to do to them...I find I can rough in the carving pieces and then the scroll saw will make the curves smoother than my shaking pencil can turn out... I like to get something out there and it might give someone a push in to doing something. Not too many projects showing up lately!!!! The handle is just something I glued together and this was the excess pieces that got cut off the very bottom trim. It might sound funny but I save all the small cut off pieces from scroll sawing for a few years and a few inspirations came from that pile of pieces after I put them up on the work table and played around with them.... Matter of fact I am spraying a few pieces right now that will be a place to put my phone when not using it... My phone is only used to take pictures and I never talk on it.... Thanks for putting BOX in that heading slot. I tried but no luck...….. Artie and Cal 2 Quote
