Cedar Lidded Box

[Bernie Weishapl]

Here is a cedar lidded box I made for Nick Parker who will be ordained a priest in May. It will be his rosary box. I have known him since he was born and have worked with his dad for 25 yrs. They have been family friends for a long time. It is cedar and finished with lacquer. The cross was fun to turn.

Beautiful box Bernie! I am sure it will be appreciated!

[Toney Robertson]

Very nice.

Looks like you dipped it in glass.

I am just about ready to try a bowl. I can only hope that it looks half this good.

Bernie,
Great gift; I'm sure he will treasure it for a long time. What did you use for the finish? It looks like glass.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate it. It turned out nicer than I every thought it would.

Jerry the finish is lacquer about 6 light coats and buffed on the 3 wheel system.
