Thought I'd go above and beyond this time.
Found some Alder with wicked knots in it.
So I made the push to get this ready and off for Christmas.
Routed the edges with a beveled look for a tomb or crypt kind of top.
Now for some resin! (24 hour wait ensues...sucks waiting)
Polished and sanded. Happy with the result.
Got some hinges installed to match the color and style.
Turned out pretty awesome.
Thought I'd go above and beyond this time.

Are you able to apply heat to the resin so it cures faster than 24 hours?
DadsHumor
Yeah, a little propane and a steady hand can cut it down to 12

Amazing! Great work @OP!

Anyone else watch Breaking Bad, and think of the wood “box” Jesse Pinkman talked about making in wood-shop?

I straight up asked for homemade. If I get a card with a stick figure I'll be happy
Qirish
I agree 100% don't spend a lot of money just make something that I can hang up or show people
throwawaynoodle
either something handmade or something small that is meaningful
