Boxwood+African blackwood box

[George Watkins]

Hello folks

here are two new boxes i've made recently

boxwood and african blackwood 1 3/4" wide by 2 1/4" tall

lignum vitae and boxwood 1 5/8" wide by 2" tall

They both look great but I think my favorite is the lignum vitae and boxwood!

What finish are you using on those. Very nice indeed.

Thank you for all of your kind comments

Terry i sand to 600grit then i use three diffrent mops and compounds to buff the piece then apply a couple of coats of miccrocrstaline wax
these are the compounds i use
i'm not sure if that brand is avalible in the U.S
I use 113gzp brown 1st (if your using a lighter open grained timber use glosswax 18 instead)
then glosswax 16
then atol 6

there's a quick guide here

I use these same mops/compounds on acrylics and tru stone too
