Well, actually, its not. Its a box. But it is the first time I have made a box to order, and its the first time I have kept track of time spent, and its the first time I have worked a full sunday on a box (SHE is not amused).
My last yin yang box sparked an almost war between two friends. One has a wife who is chinese and he felt it would please her. The other has a wife who is celebrating her 50th this weekend and wanted a special present.
The box went to the first person who had seen it (the one with the wife who is chinese)
The other asked if I could make another for the following weekend.
I felt a little guilty about showing him it in the first place as I was certain it would go the first guy, so I started out sunday morning scrounging through the workshop top see if I had enough bits. 8 hours later I quit for the day.
Monday was another 8 hours.
This morning was 4 to make it an even 20 hours.
Way too much stress for this old age pensioner. I might take another commission, but delivery will be a minimum two weeks from order.
5 different woods in this one, can you name them all? EDIT!!!, just realised there is one wood that can not be seen in these pics, so youre looking for only 4, and that should be easy.
