The box

Have you ever been so bored with a day that you feel a compulsion to build something? Well i did just a few days ago. So i go down and get my balsa and sand out some of the previous carvings i did. Then i cut it in half and rounded out the edges. It started to look like a lid, a lid to a box. Looking at a box that Jim made a while back Me and my dad started to construct a similar model out of mahogony. In the process i got the nastiest splinter ever. Very fiborous wood. So the wod is cut and now only needs to be glued togather then the lid attached to the body. It looks pretty sweet. We decided on a poplar for a top that i stained darker to match the rest of the box. I'm saving the balsa so i can do an inlay on another box saome other time.
