WORKSHOP/DiY: Herringbone Box #2, Pt. II

Two boxes, and more herringbone…

I’m dead chuffed with these little boxes. My first was a practice/learning run. And has come out lovely. The second is a commission. And improves on the first in some ways (all edges bevelled!).

Cutting these boxes is quite hard. I think I need to learn how to do that better. And the subsequent sanding needs to be better as well.

Case #2 has been given a coat of teak oil. But nowt else. Should I varnish or shellac it? Maybe I’ll see what Walter thinks?

Yummy!

Which is better, I wonder: the lighter, or the darker lining? Or maybe they’re equally nice, in differing ways? Hmmm…
