Well, this is it! The final installment of the duo of boxes. In this part I will be applying a finish and putting on the final touches.
The finish I'm applying is a tough wearing tung oil. It also gives the walnut a warm finish and makes the grain really come alive.
After the finish has cured for a couple of days, it is now safe to handle without getting finger smudges on the fresh finish. I apply a rich brown felt to the bottom of the jewelry box and the upper tray. The make up box will simply have a nicely finished wooden interior. I also reattach all the brass hardware to finish everything off.
I really enjoyed this project and I hope you did too!
Please stay tuned for the reveal.
Thanks for looking!
