New Gift Started

With Christmas just around the corner it is time to start turning out some gifts. The first gift I am going to start out by making my daughter a bank for her collection of pennies from the various places that we have gone on for vacation. I am going to use a PO Box door for the front which I purchased from a local woodworking store. You can get old out of service boxes that were in United States Post Offices but due to time I purchased this one. For the body of the bank I am going to use red oak along with pine dowels as an accent on the sides and top. This should offer a nice contrast when the project is complete. Here are a few photos of the parts for needed for the start of the project.



The pieces of the PO Bank are starting to come together. I cut the final pieces for the top and bottom today and routed the detail and here is what it is going to look like. Stay tuned for more updates.
