Mother's Day Project

I carved the parts for this box over a year ago from patterns that jpaluck posted here. There were some problems with the carve and I set it aside. I decided that motherhood comes with it's own share of imperfections so I put it together and finished it for my wife. Cherry with lacquer finish.

I realy like this. You did a great job. Was the original posted for share or to purchace? I would like to do this one.

Looks great! Did you use hinges on the lid? what type of wood did you use? I may have to give it a try myself.

Thanks guys! WW--The patterns are in the pattern sharing depot...just scroll through the attachments and look for "Heart Lock Box"...you'll see the Lid jpg, and two different side panel MPC's. Jerry--I didn't use hinges on this one--the lid lifts off. It's carved in curly cherry.

Is it me or are the Rabbits on the wrong side of the pattern?

[gwhiz]

LOL--I have to laugh at myself. I didn't remember any Rabbits, just Birds, so I had to go look! Then it dawned on me--I assume that you're talking about the Rabbets at the end of some of the side pieces. I didn't use them, I mitered the corners. (What a difference a letter makes!)

Is the lid available any where.

The lid pattern is also in pattern sharing search "Heart Lock Box"...

All I find is a JPG not MPC. I just check again and still couldn't find a MPC. Are you sure the MPC is there.
