Sorry to hear that you lost a friend. Friends are a special commodity. Great looking box.

Subject: [Woodworkers] Another funeral type box



May 3rd, a year ago, a friend of mine died.  Roger was also a friend with all the regular folks in our IRC chat room.


Quite a few of the regulars met Roger in real life...by "met" I mean standing in his company.  Some of the list members here have actually worked with and along side of him.


All of these folks are members of this list.


Karen came up with the idea of making a treasure box to send to the family and in it would be items these people made and then sent to the family.


I would be the one making the box containing all the treasures so I'm only showing my end of it.  If the others involved in this wish to post pics of their treasures then I'll leave it up to them.


The box itself is Honduran mahogany and is stained.  The top/lid is not stained b'cuz I wanted it to be natural and disassociated with the box-  think of life being over death sorta thing?  



The lid is a slip over, meaning no hinges, nothing fancy...just slides over the box.  The pattern in the lid is the constellation Orion; the different diameters represent the varying sizes of the stars themselves.  For instance, Rigel, Orion's right foot is almost as large as Betelgeuse.  Bellatrix (directly above Orion's Belt) is sized as well.
