Christmas Boxes for other Great Grand Kids

[Merle Rice]

Basswood Boxes for Zack, Maddie, and Aidan, my other Great Grand Kids.
Woodburned and finished with BLO, PolyU, Watco Dark Wax, and Feed-n-Wax.
I think I might be caught up on my Christmas Carvings. We\'ll see. Ha,Ha.

Great burning Merle. I am curious though, with all your skills, do you do the freehand? There are just outstanding. . .JoeB

Hi Joe, I do some freehand on my Patterns, just add some detailing that I think it might need, not the whole Pattern, maybe years ago but not now. Thanks Joe for showing interest. Merle

Hi Kadiddle, I get the Boxes from Michaels, I also get the Felt their for the inside. It has peal off paper on back , so just cut and stick, works great, no mess. I couldn\'t make them for the cost that Michaels sells them for. Thanks for showing your interest. Merle

Those are so cool they make me want to take up woodburning. The closest I\'ve come is building a campfire. You sure have some lucky great grandkids.

Hi Terry, Woodburning is a good change for me from Carving, it relaxes me. Try it you might be surprised and enjoy it. Thanks Terry for your nice Comments. Merle
