Tribal Kitty and Ribbon Box
« on: April 23, 2013, 11:18:14 pm »
This is a rendition of that tribal cat pattern.  Cut from ? BB ply with a 1/8 BB Ply backing.  Sealed with tung oil then top coated with semi gloss lacquer.

This box is cut from pine.  The ribbon is ? in cedar on the outside and ? appleply on the inside.  The dimensions are 6 inches long x 4 ? inches wide x 2 ? inches tall.  The box is 1 ? inches deep.  The ribbon is 1 1/8 inches wide.  I finished it with several coats of tung oil.

I like what you've done with both of these pieces!  They both are greatly executed.  Both of these are on my To Do List.  Thanks for showing them!

That ply gives a stunning effect for the ribbon.  If someone has posted something before I must have either missed it or missed the effect.

I do like that cat pattern!

I've never seen apple plywood before. You've done a great job on that ribbon.

Appleply is sold at a couple of our Lowes here.  http:\\www.appleply.com This is a good alternative to BB ply.
