I think you did a great job on both, Dick. The Kleenex box look great and should receive your full attention as far as finishing. The cross, as well as it turned out, should nave never laid on a shelf collecting dust. I feel the cut and finish turned out beautifully.

 My wife just bought more boxes of Kleenex to put into the box I made for them and they were about 1/4  inch too large for the wood boxes, so now I need to enlarge them a little and re-cut them. No big deal, just was not what I really wanted to do at this time. Thanks for the comment. I will go ahead and put more finish on the next ones.

Both look great to me. I’ve had that trouble with Cedar also. I don’t like to cut it for that reason, and it seems to bother my sinuses more than most wood. 

I do not notice a physical problem with the Cedar but the sawdust not blowing off does make it extra difficult to cut.  Thanks for the  positive comments.

They both look very nice. I also agree about the cedar. Awhile back an ol timer told me cedar is the worst sawdust to breath. I generally wear a mask while scrolling and sanding, but will always wear one when working with cedar. 

Thank you for your comments. Cedar is a really pretty wood and I personally like the smell of it. Always good to wear a mask, of which I very seldom do. I have realized after many years of scrolling and intarsia projects that I have a shortness of breath that I believe is probably the reason for my problem. Still don't wear one. How dumb is that?

Hi Dick, They look lovely! I think you did well on your projects, Thanks for posting, Bob😉

I thank you for your nice comments. I just looked up your profile and found out  you have been a Village member, even longer than have I. Talk about old friends. I guess we qualify for that, don't we?

They're both really nice, Dick. Masks are a hassle, for sure. But, we want you to keep breathing so we can see you at the next Bent Prop gathering.

It was fun to attend the gatherings and meet you and some other woodworkers also. Thanks for letting me know about the meeting
