2 Keepsake Boxes for a Friend

By ronlatour, member Aug 25, 2016

Allie’s box is made from mahogany with maple, cherry & ebony accents and Aubree’s is from figured cherry with maple, mahogany, walnut & padauk accents. Both boxes were colored with water based dye. The cherry box first received a sealer coat of shellac. The mahogany box was grain filled with AquaCoat following a sealer coat of shellac. Each was top coated with 4 coats of Arm-R-Seal. Carvings are done by hand and glued to a birdseye maple background panel.
