Fretwork Heart Box
« on: February 17, 2013, 10:52:07 pm »
This is a fretwork heart box I made for my wife's Valentine's day present. It's made from a modified plans from Creative Woodworks & Crafts magazine. The lid and base are Walnut and the body of the box is Maple. The fretwork is filled with Polymer clay then cured in the oven. I finished the box with 4 coats of Minwax Polyacrylic gloss spray. See my blog for how I built it. http://www.thepatriotwoodworker.com/profiles/blogs/valentines-fretwork-heart-box-fretwork-filled-with-poleymer-clay

Nice looking box. What type of clay do you use to make this? Do you offer the pattern?

Troy I used Sculpey III polymer clay from Michaels although there are many brands out there.

Thank you all for your kind comments. I haven't posted anything in a long while since I haven't had a lot of time to get on the scroll saw. This was a fun project and I learned a lot during it's construction. I do need to get a little cleaner on the cuts and eliminate the uneven cuts. Thanks again!

Great work! I like how it looks like the top is inlay. Nice compliment of colors.
