Cynthia, you may not know, but with duct tape on that box, it will be stopped at customs and opened and fully inspected. Could add anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks to it's final home
Steve, I always put duct tape on my boxes and haven't had a problem so far. Let them open it if they want. It's all declared on the notice. (i.e. not much of $value, just sentimental value)
I just checked UPS tracking and my box is sitting at someones back door, SO RUN AND CHECK YOU BACK DOORS
First thing my wife said, "man that is going to look lovely on my dresser!" I of course said, "yes it is dear".
Not my door
Brent Cynthia is just learning red neck. When I sent Larry a box last year it was noting but duck tape. Post master never even gave it a second look.
A properly duck tapped box will have no cardboard exposed.
Ya'll can stop checking your back doors!!! It wasn't left there either, our UPS man carries dog biscuits in his truck and Lilly always meets him at his seat! Then she checks out the rest of the truck.
Tom, damn man! oops, dang man!! ya done fabulous!!!!!!!!!
Folks, my camera is at school, will get and post shots tomorrow, if Tom has any, he can post some. Let me say, it took about 20 minutes to unpack and view this box, it was worth the wait!!!!! First thing my wife said, "man that is going to look lovely on my dresser!" I of course said, "yes it is dear".
Box is coming along.
I'm having trouble with dovetailing the cardboard I laminated together. The corners keep bending over when I try to fit the pieces together.
Also I have to remake a new laminated cardboard top. Turns out when I laminated the 4 pieces of cardboard together to get the desired thickness I wanted I left an old shipping label sticking up.
By the way, Does anybody know the best way to finish cardboard? I was thinking a nice walnut stain and some wipe on poly or something...

You two nearly caused me a heart attack. I thought for a minute that I'd missed our new swap
