Hi all,
Here is the Clothes pin box I made for SWMBO
Wood: Box is Cedar, Dolphins are 1/4" BB
Finish: Stain is SAMAN water base (custom colors, sort of aqua for the box and blue for Dolphins, the face picture is pretty accurate) followed by a couple of coats of blond shellac.
I never did dovetails before, I decided to do these on the scrollsaw. I'm rather happy of the result.
The dovetails were left proud at her request, she says it (the box) looks rustic this way.
There are only 8 screws in the whole project: 4 for the hinge and 4 for the metal wall fasteners in the back.
I had to glue 2 boards to get the proper width. The grain on the bottom was selected for the "wave" in it.
The grain line across the left Dolphin matching the "wave" in the box is pure fluke and was noticed after the glue-up
When I presented it to her finished she became all teary eyed: I love the feeling of making her that happy
