This is getting silly, I like making treasure chests, but now i've made a couple owl boxes people are asking for more animal shapes (hey, the customer is always right, right?). This one is for my daughter in law. She keeps the real things so I had a tough act to follow.
She's seen pics but wont get the box till xmas.
Made with rosewood centre between 2 pieces of zebrano. I planned the white zebrano to be at the bottom for the legs, and it worked quite well.
The drawer goes all the way through, just because a handle would have looked out of place on the side of the shape. By the time I had the drawer apart and rebuilt, I had to add the beech filler strip in the middle to bring it back to the full width.
The eyes are cut down disposable contact lens cases, painted black.
