Popular Post Fred Kile Posted May 23, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) Yesterday I finished my first 'box' of any kind. It's from a 1928 pattern of an Egyptian Biscuit Box offered by Hobbies at that time. For those of you who remember, my wife loves ancient Egyptian artifacts and art. So. I decided to try my hand at making something Egyptian for her birthday. It's made mainly fro 1/2 inch birch plywood with oak corner pillars and trim. The cartouche I copied from a bracelet my wife got from Egypt and is her name in hieroglyphics. The cartouche is the front and the winged scarabs are on the other three sides. The darker stain is English Chestnut from Minwax and the lighter woods are just clear satin finish. The main box is 7 inches square and the overall height is 10 inches.
