I hate the wait before you can buff out your finish. While waiting for finish to cure I made a couple of boxes with some wenge and figured maple. I used some of the skills from guitar making, like binding... I've never made a box before (other than a guitar). I had some fun and now I've got something to give to my sisters. BTW - finished in Tru-oil. |

Very nice Steve! I just watch the cars rust while the Nitro cures. |

Nice looking boxes. Is that left over wood from guitars? Is it thin? What finish did you use and what will you do while it cures? Ed |

Those are really nice! I got in the habit a few years ago, mostly to make use of the leftover wood, of making a small box to hold extra strings, picks, and a tuner. I use the particular guitar's wood and use the left over binding and perfling so it's identical to the guitar. I give it to whoever the guitar goes to so it's a matched set. That's what happens when you have more time than sense... |

Very Nice... Sound clip? I think you have made a huge error using those hinges as I am afraid they don't transmit sound very well. You should consider sliding tops instead... |
