A long wait

Sorry it has been too long since I have posted any work here. Seems like this year I am gone more than I am here. But then again, there are no paid subscribers to this blog. The latest project I have finished are a pair of boxes to be given away as gifts for 2 additional retirees at work. I also took some shots of the beginning of a third box.

All of the boxes are made from Myrtle Wood and the first two are about 5" x 8".

Here is the wood I will use on the third box. Again it is 3/8" Myrtle Wood and I'll use 1/4" ply for the bottom. This box has been joined at the four corners with miters, but I am still working on the lid. The size of this box is 8" x 9", but still only about 3" tall.

I have only 3 days to finish the last box, so I won't write much here tonight.

Enjoy and I'll try to post more soon, but be careful of the splinters
