Wedding Card Box

Mooseherder · September 09, 2014, 05:53:22 AM

Here is a little project I did Saturday with some Oak that I had. The top was from a slab of Oak I had got from WDH that I had cut off from another project. I had been wondering what to do with it. It isn't quite finished yet. It may get a front knob on the slab. And the finish hasn't been decided.

I cut and indexed the boards and bottom and then glued and Brad nailed. I'm hoping it'll hold together. ;D

Making the card opening slit.

Old saying......but true! :D

There was a change of plans. Someone didn't like the slit on the top. Luckily had some more thick stuff to glue together.
I can save the previous top in case @Raider Bill needs one with a slit. :D
The words on the box were lifted from an etsy project. I'm so ashamed.
The stain is sun bleached rustoleum.

Yes, hold that top for Raider Bill ;D. You never know when he is going to fall.

Ian made this beautiful card box for me to hold our wedding cards and a small few mementos in.

Ian gave me his heart..... The heart is a piece of juniper from a tree that fell at mum's place in a storm a couple of years back. The box is made from a piece of pine I milled all by myself on a skillmill about 8 years ago. It was worth the wait smiley_heart You can read about that adventure here
