Evening folks. Thought Id share with you my first attempt at making a box. It was for my daughter-in-law for Christmas, in which for her to store all her fashion jewellery. My budget being less than £15, it was mostly made from stuff I had lying around: 200 year old pine from some old church pew rails, with ebony detailing provided from two rejected guitar fret boards. Her home is contemporary, but she is girly, so the red mother of pearl inlay and magenta faux suede lining are to bling it up. Finished with 1 coat of Danish oil and 5 coats of acrylic gloss lacquer. Designed in my head, sketched on my white board and then made up as it went along. Not how I like to work, but I had very little time. Final cost: About £12. This isnt generally my thing Im not a box maker and I was hard put-to in both time and budget, but ultimately, Im very pleased with it, and so was my daughter-in-law. She is wonderful though!
