Box 83 Started

 I cut out some wood for Box 83 last night. The box is for Charlie in Kentucky. He has a special Fatboy to go in it. Today was a beautiful day to work outside, so I did. The wood is Patagonian Rosewood. I came up a little short, so I used a piece of oak for the bottom. Here is what I have for now. It still needs to be finished with polycrylic and lined with felt. Then I will install the hardware.

Today's work.

Top of box

End of box

Bottom is oak

Box is cut apart

Made for a Fatboy

Later the same day:

This is a dry fitting of the red felt.

It is finished.
