This has been one of my favorite projects to date. This is a tool chest made from Lemon Eucalyptus, Cuban Mahogany, and spalted maple. I made two of these chests, one as a gift and the other with the intention of selling. I enjoyed the project and loved the result so much that I decided to keep it as a keepsake box. I used a hard wax finish that is able to be continuously buffed and reapplied adding to the depth of finish each time. I find myself doing this on days that I need to ”re-center” myself. When I am asked to make a custom piece or I make a piece to sell I strive to create something that provides this feeling to others, to create something that becomes better with age and is passed from generation to generation.
