Here are two boxes I just completed, My buddy wanted a couple of small boxes for his two girls 8 and 10. He wanted there initials on them and I had not done that before. I didn't what it to look painted so approached it a little differently, the raw wood is showing for the letters. He wanted one pink and one purple. There boxes are 5x7" outside and made out of Curly Maple. I used Keda Dyes for the colors. Finished with 5 coats of Lacquer. Finished the inside with Suede Tex in black Black. Almost had a heart attack when I applied the black adhesive for the suede Tex, it leaked through the bottom a little and I didn't catch it. hours later I went to the shop to check on things and noticed a black goo coming from under the finished boxes. Luckily they had many coats of Lacquer so I just wiped it off. Whew. Enjoy the photos.
