My First Box
« on: January 24, 2013, 08:51:29 pm »
I love seeing boxes people make. I have always wanted to make one from wood. (I do make some pretty fancy ones from paper with the art of origami) So, here is my first box. I used one of Steve Good's patterns and added the Jesus Cross I always make. It turned out pretty good. I used Poplar for the box and BB for the bottom and top. The cross is a piece of oak I happened to have.

Nice first box Troy! Make a few more, maybe try an inlay on the top.
