    fish bones box

    I had to put my ribbon and bow boxes aside so I could start this project.
    this is going to be a 50th birthday present for a co-worker of mine, he's also a fisherman...

    the box is cut from 1/4 maple and mahogany and it measures 3X5X7 inches





    I tried to do the fish as a inlay but I failed and I didn't have enough plained wood to do another one so I cut the fish out of 1/16 inch wood and glued it to the top and sanded it down where it barely sticks up...

        hey Jim, I was so close to having a perfect inlay until I cut the eye out, I forgot to have the wood on top to fall into the eye socket and then I lost focus and cut the last piece wrong and it fell throw it's hole

          If you can't fix it with sawdust and glue, it's not worth fixing.

            I know it's just a basic box but it did turn out pretty good for what it was made for...
            I was thinking about putting a base or feet on it but I think this is the wrong style of box..

            I'm just glad to have this one off the list...

                  63? I used to be 63, but I was a kid then.

                      After you've made these mistakes, you become just paranoid enough to not make them again.

                      Still an awesome box....!!!

                            Well, yesterday, I shot my 18 in the morning. The grands came over and I got one of em to try it out. I had to demonstrate so I got another 12 or so in. Last night I finished up with 90 for the day. Going to challenge myself to one hundred arrows a day for one hundred days. Made an excel spreadsheet...

                            For me to write something like this with my woodburner, even with the fine ball tip pens, is just not possible for me. The variations in the wood grain really complicate things.

                            A few weeks ago Elliott was looking around and saw a bow and arrows in the rafters in the basement. PopPop I didn’t know you had a bow and arrow. I don’t. It’s Mimi’s. Been a long time since I used it. Maybe I should get it out again.
