The Brick Red School Box (Guild Build)

author-gravatar TheDustyRabbet Oct 12, 2016

Another school box build, I did this one in pine, and followed most instructions. I took the hybrid woodworking approach, prepping stock with power tools, and cut the joinery by hand. Finish was a blonde shellac sealing coat,  two coats of Real Milk Paint Tuscan Red, and a top coat of Arm R Seal.

Most dovetails fit well, and a little filler for the others, I'll paint this section.

That's a great looking box! I also really like the brick red paint. Thanks for sharing and building along!
