Happy to post a pic of the closed box, which I finaly sanded today. Can't post more pics right now, as I do not want to share
too much right now. as you may noticed, I've made 2 boxes. One for me and a second one for a good friend :)
Wanted to wait, until he has received his box the next days :D

Long story short. here is the promised pic:


Next to do... adding "colors" and aging :) I will keep you updated!!

best

Thanks ahoudini.. will have to work out some Details of the letters while i age the box. But so far Iam pretty
happy with the result :D
 
OK, some more (and better) shots, which I took while working on my Box. The cheap "pinewood" got a first cover of
oak stain, applied with a brush. Here is how it looks before doing the first manual aging, adding scratches, worn out edges
and some holes to simulate the presents of a wood-worm ;)







Pics of the actual appearance of the box and info what kind of tools used to age the box to follow later today (evening - german time)
 
Thanks for the Feedback Steve :D

Short update about the aging process... (being 2 days too late.... sry for the delay)

Iam trying to mimic the aging of the Box presented by asavage, as well as the box seen "on screen".

Front:


Back:


Inside:


Tools used so far:
chisels, steel brush (a Little bit to weak), Wood rasp, sanding paper and a self-made "Wood-worm-tool" ;)


Actualy I'am waiting for some gray-ish and black stains to arrive. Didn't want to use steel-wool and vinager (allthough I
like the results), but the box/vinager will stink for quit a while.... so I do hope the stains will do the Job as well :)
 
hehe... well said :lol And thanks for your feedback.

Honastly, doing the first scratches and cuttings was very hard for me. The box itself is pretty cool as a new piece.
But I love the look, feel and charism of antique/vintage things.... well as long as the stuff is not completet "broke/worn down" ;)
 
Here are some pics my box :) Pics taken inside with flash, just to catch a little bit more Details of the darker areas the shadows and cleaned the
background to Keep the Focus on the box itself ;)

Front:


Back:


And opened:




Still some details to tweak, especially the Madonna pic, at the top door is still missing... slowly but steady I'am getting done :D
