Pastor needed a box to hide his stash of candy in....
while out of a rust hunt, I "picked' two boards, at a dollar apiece. Decided to resaw the Cherry slab down to make a small box
Made with 1/2" thick planks of Cherry. Box joints were made with a saw, a chisel, and a mallet
The panel in the lid, it was "raised" by using a handplane or two, ala Paul Sellers. Panel sits in a groove in the lid's frame. I rounded over the top edge of the lid, with a block plane
Small Brass hinges. Tried to get the grain to show up, wound up sitting the box on a table, and letting the sunshine do it's thing..
After a couple days.....let it sit there ( rotating to even things out) before delivery on a Sunday..
It now sits on Pastor's Desk, hiding his stash of Candy from the kids at Church.
Not too bad for just old yard sale lumber?
I could do a bit about how this was built, if'n anyone wants me to...
