Photos... or it didn't happen

[Terredax]

I took a photo for the crowd. They aren't the best photos, but I got them.
This is just cut and nothing done to it yet. There is still quite a bit of hand work left to do. I need to remove the marks and polish it, and then a color fill. Then there is the rest of the box to do.
The first photo shows the lid design, and the second photo shows the back side to show the rabbet and the actual color of the Corian.

I will add a couple of progression photos and a completion photo.

Thanks for looking.

I just finished the color fill and gluing up the base.

Since there doesn't seem to be interest in this, I will attempt to get a photo of the completed box, instead of the progression photos.

I'm guessing the lack of interest is based on the fact that this isn't a pen, or because I didn't make it completely by hand, or any combination of the two.
Although that is true, I still enjoy the challenges involved.

That's going to turn out nice! Can't wait to see it finished.

This is more of a progression photo rather than a completion photo, since it isn't finished. This will likely be the last photo of this box, but it gives an idea of what the finished box will look like.

I spent several hours doing the color fill and getting the finish on the lid. Now I will be spending several more hours on the outside of the box portion to get the finish. I do this all by hand, it is much more accurate for me to use this method. The quarter is for scale.

I'm still hopeful that I will get it finished in time for Saturday's dinner.

Thanks for looking.

Looks good John! I'm sure it will be warmly received.

Looks good John! I'm sure it will be warmly received.

We gave it to her on Saturday and she absolutely loved it. She kept talking about it and touching it. I believe she has put it to use as well.

It's one of those good feelings, seeing someone genuinely pleased with something you've made for them.

Really nice work, thanks for showing it to us!
