18th birthday present.
« on: December 06, 2012, 08:17:24 am »
A friend of mine asked me to make an 18th birthday present for their neice. They wanted a key with their own message on it, so I changed the words on Steve's key pattern to come up with this. It is cut from rosewood, and finished with BLO/thinners in 50/50 mix, then three coats of celulose gloss lacquer. Hope you like it.
