New from Advance, NC

[Bnance]

I Joined NCWW in December 2017 and enjoy the site. Hopefully, I will attend the spring picnic and maybe win one of those great prizes.
Although, cleanup and finish remains, I wanted to share a pic of my current project— the attached anniversary boxes.
The boxes are for three lovely ladies, one being my wife. They are made from 5 different woods with inside dimensions of 5”x5”x5”. Each wood and inch represents a decade of friendship.
I look forward to meeting NCWW members.

Very nice, Bobby. What are your plans for finishing them? Are you going to line the interior or leave it as bare wood?

I plan to use three applications of Tried and True varnish oil and then three coats of satin poly varish. I will leave the insides like the outside.
