YIPPEE!!! I was excited to get these orders but they presented some challenges! My wood order took an additional ten days to arrive and put me in a severe time crunch to get them all done. Then of course my teeny weeny inadequate scrollsaw decided to not hold a line for nothing and the extra sanding was a major time consumer...but all in all I was happy with the end results and actually finished them on schedule (after a week of 3-5 am work days).
All in all I completed a total of ten boxes;
3-Scalloped Seashell Boxes, created from Auromatic Cedar & Cherry
2-Gone Fishin' Pelican Boxes, woods used were Poplar, Blue Pine, Mahogany, Ash, Yellowheart & Black Walnut
2-Maple Leaf Boxes, one was created using a similar technique as I did on my Sweetgum Box using three types of veneer and then sanding them down for the different colors to show, woods used were Black Walnut Veneer, Mahogany Veener, Pecan Veneer & Poplar. Second box I used Maple & Flame Birch for the lid.
1-Turbine Shell Box, this one I used Black Walnut for the carcass and drawers, with Leopardwood for the drawer fronts and recyled Teak (from an old yacht) for the handles.
2-Book Stash Boxes, these are great scrap projects as I used all different types of woods from Black Walnut, Cherry, White & Red Oak, Yellowheart, Mahogany, Cypress, Poplar & Cocobolo
I took the photos really quick, so I apologize for the quality...and then realized that I forgot to take a photo of the last Book Stash Box I made, which is a bummer as I think the color combo of the woods used was the best one yet...oh well, the customer was really excited about it!
I have one more project 'Frajellie' (acrylic jellyfish) to finish before the holidays and then volunteered to go spray texture a friend's remodel job and then paint it the next week...as they say no rest for the wicked - lol!
Thanx for letting me share, any and all comments are welcomed!
HEAUX, HEAUX, HEAUX - HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
