Popular Post young ned Posted March 23, 2021 Popular Post Report Posted March 23, 2021 I seem to have blinkers on at the moment, if it's not a box I don't see it, it might have something to do with the amount of 1 1/2" inch mahogany and 2" Oak I've had given me, they lend well to boxes lol, this one is mahogany top and bottom, Oak for the draw and Maple for the inlay, it is 2 inches high and 5 inch wide, the draw is 1 and a half inches high by 1 inch wide, Steve's pattern was for a glued on humming bird and flowers, but I altered it to an inlayed one, disappointed slightly with the birds tail, but as long as you don't all look at the original pattern I might just get away with it LOL ChelCass, RabidAlien, lawson56 and 19 others 21 1 Quote
CSull Posted March 23, 2021 Report Posted March 23, 2021 Nice work, I always have that same tendency to see what I am not happy with in my finished pieces. young ned 1 Quote

FrankEV Posted March 24, 2021 Report Posted March 24, 2021 Boxes are great projects and you did a wonderful with this one. I understand about having blinders on when looking for projects. I'm kinda into a rut with coloring portraits of "Birds". I really do like inlay work, but just havn't gotten up the nerve to try it yet. But it on my to do list. Again, very nice work. young ned 1 Quote
