Man, I see all these gorgeous boxes and bowls everyone are making, SQ! I'm kinda hesitant about posting my simple little things. But, here is the latest box I my for my daughters sister, her moms other daughter. Cut it out of 1/4" poplar. On the inside I took pieces of 1/8" plexi glass and coarse sanded both sides to get the frosted look. Hope you like it. Don

Don, your box looks fantastic! Wonderful pattern. Sanding the plexiglass to make it look frosted was very clever. I have never make that kind of box and am wondering how you attached the sides of the box - glue? nails?Originally posted by tdub4ever View Post
That is a box to be proud of! I'm sure the recipient is going to be thrilled with it. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Great job Don. I like the frosted plexi idea. I have used that for a light I made for my bedroom. Thanks for sharing it with us.
