I just finished up this little box. I don't quite recall where I got the original from. Probably my sisters. It was a simple jewelry box with a glass top. The glass cracked in two and the outer frame that had just been glued popped apart. I drilled, pinned, and glued that back. To replace the glass, I carved up a poplar board with these Celtic knots. I'll admit, I'm annoyed with myself for gluing the lid slightly crooked, but I like it. Ran into quite a bit of trouble with the copper makers tag. Four homemade stamp attempts later, I just used tape to mask the copper for etching, hence the fuzzy edges of the etch. Next step, make some dividers and ring holders.
