    Very nice but much more than what I would call a "box".

    I almost skipped over this thread when I read "pine box". A bit of an understatement, don't you think? I'm glad I didn't though. Looks beautiful. I love the finish. Did you color wash to get that effect? I'm thinking of doing a painted piece soon, and would like to know how you did that?

    Your title doesn't do justice to your work. I almost skipped looking and I'm glad I didn't it is a nice pantry cabinet or pie safe. Well done. Did you carve the medallions?

    I would love to know how you did the finish. The more I mangle projects the more I realise that finishing is the most important part and I love yours. I just have no idea on how to do it.

    +1 That cabinet is really really cool - very nice work.

    Definite kudos. I love the finish, even though I'm usually not a fan of faux aged finishes and the like. The carving is sweet. When it said "pine box" I was expecting something along the lines of the pine box I built for housing my Incra stuff. Nice as my pine box is, (simplicity being it's virtue), yours is orders of magnitude beyond a simple "pine box".
    It came to pass...

    That's one of the nicest 'pine boxes' I've seen! Nice attention to detail.

    Very pretty.
    Is that finish milk paint over milkpaint? What did you topcoat with?
