The design that's in the first box lid is only about 1/32"deep and I thought I'd leave that and work something around it.

    I was also thinking of maybe a "chip" design but have been unable to find one listed in the pattern store or here in the forum....I've really looked until my eyes crossed. What other possibilites do you think might work with these projects and yet not be over powering?

    Also, do you think the lacquer will chip if I try and carve into it? Thanks for any ideas or comments.

    Good morning Sharon,

    Did you have a chance to try the lid carvings you proposed on these two boxes? Just curious to see what you designed. Thanks

    Capt. Bruce,

    Sorry, I haven't had much of a chance to work on designing anything lately. My husband has taken over the shop with a project of his own, that can't be done without my help, so my "play time" is very limited. But I'm still looking for ideas to incorporate into a design.

    Thanks for getting back to us Sharon,
    The positive side of that is that you're getting to spend some time doing something together. The boxes are just waiting for that "right" design to come to you.
