Made a few boxes for parents and grandparents for Xmas. The three boxes are different. All are made from walnut and finished with about six coats of shellac. There were a few first experiences with these:
- first projects with walnut. Love working with it !
- made a jig for the box joints since had never cut them before. Worked pretty well. Took a while to get it adjusted but worked well.
- boxes were first also.
This is a simple DVD box. Put DVD's of my children in it for the grandparents.

Number 2 is a slightly more complicated DVD box with family DVD's for the other grandparents.
