Nice workmanship! What are you gonna store in the 2nd slot of that box?
One of the two ducks :tuQuote:

Face and back are satin finish

Tiger Maple, african blackwood wedge, recycled brasswork, proprietary finish.
Box:
Double razor case. Face is kiaat, sides are walnut, top and foot are zircote, inside is partially lined with cedar. Rubbed oil finish. I couldn't decide on what I wanted to use for the box, so I used a little of everything.
Whoa! Those ducks look very tasty indeed. As for the box, it seems that with a couple of well placed holes, Lee could get a fairly sophisticated woodwind instrument, too!
Good Stuff Dan!!!
I think I better test those for Lee.........

Great workmanship!!! Those scales rival the originals BIG time. The box is fantastic too,,, but should have been shown separately because I can't take my eyes of the razor.:fim:
What we have hear is what appears to be contradictory, but is in fact not...a pair o' ducks!Quote:

Very nicely done Dan! Thanks for posting Lee. You have some very nice pieces of functional art there.
What a nice flock of ducks! :D
