For Christmas one year I receive a book with a
design for a jewelry box and I made a variety of them with different woods
and modified the design for some of the projects.
Boxes
This was the first box I worked on made out of oak
with Walnut in the corners. The Harry Potter logo was wood burned in with
Ammonium Chloride solution and a heat gun. The box was a gift for a friend who
is a big Harry Potter friend.
I worked on this box at the same time as the Cedar Box below.
It was a similar design to the Harry Potter box with purpleheart wood instead of walnut
in the corner keys.
This box we made without any keys unlike the previous
designs and was made out of cedar. It was my first project using cedar and the wood
turned out beautifully.
Summer of 2020, I made as surprise gift to a high school friend when
she went off to college. The box is made with sandwich of oak and mahogany. She attended
Iowa the big rival school to Iowa State, so put a Iowa State logo on the inside had all the
people from our home town that were attending Iowa State sign the box. It was a very good surprise
to her, especially in the rather lonely school year caused by Covid.
