Retirement Shadow Box

By btylerl, member May 19, 2009

This is the Shadow Box I made for my First Sergeant’s retirement celebration. The box is made of walnut with padauk accents on the face and in the dovetail splines. The photo is cut in 1/4″ walnut plywood thanks to Messman – a pattern maker on the scrollsawer.com forum. The frame of the photo is the reverse of the box with padauk accented by walnut. I followed a commercial plan from Wood Magazine and adjusted the dimensions to fit my needs.
