Bows and Ribbon box.
« on: March 26, 2013, 02:46:57 pm »
This is a Carole Rothman pattern.  It's made from White Oak, Cherry, Purple Heart and red and yellow veneer.  It took me 4 days to make this and it was only rated as a level 1 (of 5) in difficulty,  I don't think I'll be trying a level 5 anytime soon!

Thanks for Lookin!

You did a great job with that project.  I have made and sold many ribbon and bow boxes but none of them were as nice as yours are.

The box turned out very nice, I have the book, there are no easy projects in there.
