fully utilizing the wood
« on: May 18, 2014, 10:30:22 am »
Had the idea to do a project with little to no waste .I made these 6'' x 4'' trinket boxes , then use the interior waste to make the heart shape boxes and use the interior of those to make heart shape key rings. Did some pyrography on the  boxes.

Those are some nice looking boxes, but I had one question - how the heck do you get to live in the Caribbean?
