52 Box Challenge Box 34

author-gravatar quaesle Mar 21, 2017

The box is made entirely out of pine. I used a stain on the sides and bottom to give the box some contrast like the original. The handles are painted with green milk paint, and the box is finished with paste wax. I chose a light blue cloth with a flower pattern for the bottom. This project was much harder than I expected, mostly because of how small all of the box components were. Despite this, I enjoyed this project and feel that my woodworking skills greatly benefited. The build pictures are below.
