More Project pictures

Here are two more of my finished boxes, I've actually photographed 3 additional boxes but the third one can't be posted yet.  I've decided that boxes I make with a special purpose in mind can't be posted till the purpose is completed.  


This box is the third one I made and was also intended to be a raffle prize in last years International Children's Festival.  It was won by my youngest sister who had seen it while I was working on it.  She put in her tickets and got very lucky.  








This was also the second double box I made.  The first (also the first box I made) was shaped like a heart and given as a wedding gift.  I doubt I'll ever have the opportunity to brand that one, but it would be nice if I could.  


The second box in this update was also an inspiration project.  I came across an end cut peice of cedar whose ring pattern made me think of a turtle shell, so I made a box that I could put my turtle shell on.  








This box has also been given as a gift, but it has the honor of being the first box I've actually sold.

So there is my project update.  Hopefully I'll be able to post the mystery box soon.  

On an entirely unrelated note, I've got this urge to come up to Troy and be incredibly geeky, I also want to be able to put the D&D tag on another of these posts.

That turtle is really cool, by the way. I like how they open up by sliding a weird way -- adds visual interest and keeps them from plopping open accidentally. :p
