Granddaughter’s Graduation Gift

[KenB259]

I made this lidded dream box for my granddaughters upcoming college graduation. The top is engraved with a dragonfly image. Dragonfly's are symbolic of many things, including growth, maturity and change. I thought that image was perfect for this It's said if you write your fondest dream on a piece of paper and place it into a dream box, hold the box before you go to bed and again in the morning, your dreams will come true. The wood is some gorgeous redheart and the top and bottom has red faux leather.

Excellent box and a great memento to be passed to other generations. Impressed with the wood and the grain.
Edit: what finish?
