DWSUDEKUM Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Very nicely done Crash. Like them a lot. What woods did you use? Thanks for sharing them with us. DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crash landing Posted November 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 thank you DW..On the "K"box..my wife's initial btw, I used mahogany for the lid and the box is maple. The fish has an oak lid with a poplar and oak lamination. I like poplar for most of my work as I find the color and grain variations interesting. As time goes on, it oxidizes into some nice looks.

Clayton717 Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 great looking boxes. I have seen many colors in a poplar board from yellow/green to purple and black. I've made the "k" box as well. there are a lot of nice patterns in that book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikesscrollsaw Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Love the K box. Is that an open cut (like the fish) or is there something in there like bakers clay? I can't tell in the pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crash landing Posted November 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 thank you it is an open cut as it the fish. I painted the lid liner black on both pieces. I am playing with other color backgrounds on other pieces. I am glad you liked my efforts crash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PawPawRay Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Great boxes. Where did you find the font for the K? Is it available in other letters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crash landing Posted November 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Hello PawPawRay, thank you for the kind words. The font you are interested in is Vivian Extreme. The entire character set is available on several "font" sites. The cheapest I found was $66.00 for the family set of 3 types. crash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
