Rose Jewelry Box Top | |
10-3/4" (27.3 cm) X 6-3/4"(17.14 cm). | |
This box top was an exercise in doing a sand shaded rose. A friend of mine is a very good Jewelry Box maker and so lets see what he comes up with for a nice box using this. As it stands it measures 10-3/4" (27.3 cm) X 6-3/4" (17.14 cm). The sand shaded white rose, of holy and sycamore with dyed green leaves is set into a Madrone Burl bordered with a triple border of holy-black dyed-holy veneer, bordered by a walnut frame. It has 5 coats of sanding sealer sanded to 1500 grit and 2 coats of polyurethane gloss varnish with a final coat of poly satin wipe on. It was finished with a polish using Renaissance Wax. |
