pip creamon box for horse

Stephen Bellinger · Jan 18, 2009

Hey all. This is a box i'm building for my brother and SIL. belive it or not it is for there horses ashes.They had her for over 20 years and just couldn't just drag her into the back pasture like my grand father use to do,so they had her creamoned. When they had her creamoned they wanted 250 dollars for a cheap pine box.Well Roger (brother) said he would build one him self.To make a long story shorter he dont have the tools to make it the way he wanted.So a coumple weeks ago he called me and asked if i would make one.THis is what i'm building he said to do what ever i wanted.It is the first time chip carving but i really wanted to do some thing special,as i've never built any thing for them.I know my carving needs a lot more pratice but i'm shore they should like it.Will post finished photos when finished if any instrist.

Mark know sense in being terrifed as what's the worst that you can do but make some more designer fire wood.

Heres a pic of the top with 2 coats of laquar .still need to sand with some 6 or 8 hundred paper when put at least one if not two more coats on.
