Made a quick little box for my daughter...

Hey everyone!

My 12 year old daughter passed her test achieving her green belt in taekwando. As part of her test she broke a pine board. When we got home I thought it might be nice to make her a little dovetailed box from the board she broke, and this is what I whipped up. Done 100% all by hand and finished with a bit of walnut stain just to give it a bit more character. Nothing super fancy, but I think she will like it!

I'm sure she will be very happy and hang on to that one. Good imagination on the wood choice, I wouldn't have thought of that.

Very cool! I bet she holds on to it for the rest of her life!

Beautiful box, and a great way to make it very memorable!

Nice gift idea.

No, I'd bet she gives it to her first granddaughter.

Looks like a great place to store her new green belt.

Good inspiration and nice execution. A very meaningful gift she should treasure.

Thanks everyone! She is a great kid and giving her something I made instead of just buying something is much more satisfying for sure!

Nice looking box... good looking dovetails. Did you use anything for blotch control? did you add anything over the walnut stain?
