Lacquer on a pig :) + prototype

[DaveO]

Well, I took some advice and ignored others and decided to finish up my ill-designed box. I did attach the feet, despite being a little thick 'cause they took a long time to make and I didn't know how I would otherwise utilize them. I lowered the handle, and unless you look close you can't even tell. I managed to cut the Walnut dowels supporting it and drill out the waste in the top and re-attach it like I originally did.
The finish is a coat of blond shellac, 3 coats of gloss lacquer and a final coat of semi-gloss to lower the sheen.
My wife likes it and told me that she could find some stuff to store in it :roll: :roll: :roll:

Not worth of another thread, but I liked the concept and plan to make a few more like it (hopefully better) I submit a prototype Bandsaw box.

Thanks for looking :-D :-D :-D :-D

That finish seems to have really brought out the beauty of DaveO's round handled, custom designed feet box, Rev 4!!:lol: :lol:

Grain and color is very nice. It looks beautiful.:eusa_clap :eusa_clap

So you lacquered up a pig with lipstick?

I'm going to stop there.

I continue to be impressed by both your work and your ever growing skills. Great job!

That's funny

Dave that box turned out wonderfully, I'm glad you stuck to your guns and made that box as you saw it, regardless of any other opinion. I think it's perfect

 

[DaveT]

Good job Dave! It's a very unique design, and has come together very well despite your reservations. :eusa_clap

DaveO,
You should get a bunch of your boxes togeather and go to a art fair. I am sure you would be the hot spot.

 

[NCPete]

We apologize for this brief thread-jack, you will be returned to your regularly scheduled thread-reading momentarily.

watch out DaveO, there is a new fast-typing NCWW-posting guy out there, and he is steaming fast after you:

now back to your regularly scheduled thread.
