Boxes 85 and 86

 I have an old tree on the back of our lot that has some burls. I cut some off and set them aside to dry out. Last week, I took one of the burls and cut it down into manageable sizes. Yesterday, I got creative and made two boxes for two of my razors: the Mekur 37c and my Gillette Flat Bottom NEW.

The boxes before the finish.

Box 85 was for the Merkur 37c.







Box 86 was for the Gillette Flat Bottom NEW.
