This box is a gift for a young priest visiting our parish. 6"x7" with 1" radius outside corners. The double-ring box is cut from 1" birch with a 20? taper on the inside (easier to get the M&Ms out). Surfaces are doubled-up 1/8" BB Ply -outer surface on each side is a portrait, with 1/8" BB Ply backer inside the side rings.
The front is the emblem for the order - Fathers of Mercy. Back is St. Bernadette (Bernadette of Lourdes) as a teenager.
The thickness of the box (1 3/8" front to back) allows it to stand on end on a desk, so it can hold a bunch of desk crap without consuming much desktop space, and can be turned to show either the front or back portrait.
Any comments are welcome.
