The New Project

One more coat of boiled linseed oil, then 24 hours to dry during which time I can figure out what kind of finish I want to put on it. I'm leaning toward the Sam Maloof hand rubbed finish, but that's a 7 day project in itself. Maybe lacquer, maybe oil based polyurethane, decisions decisions.

Ohhhh... it's a BOX! :laugh: Some assembly required...

Nice looking one at that... oooh, the possibilties!
Would be a shame to get fish slime all over something so nice however!
:cool:
 
Looks like it would make a great toolbox for an artist. Beautiful work!!!
 
Wade that is some impressive box there. Just tell us the intended purpose as it is way too nice to be a tool box.

If I said what the purpose was, the identity of the recipient may be too easy to figure out. When he/she gets it, hopefully he/she'll explain what it's for.

Let's put it this way, the recipient has posted in this thread. :whistling:
 
I thought it was for Melly's toys, but you said they have posted in this thread. So I guess it's for Neal.
