BearMan Report post Posted October 25, 2009 Hi Everybody, Here is a box, I finished a couple days ago. The box is Poplar, stained with diluted "Light Brown" spirit dye, finished with Lacquer & wax. It has an inlaid Scrimshaw disc, covered with 5-6oz leather. The Basketweave is done in a circular pattern. The leather is colored in the dry brush technique, with diluted "Light Brown" spirit dye. I used the center cutout for some inside decoration. I just couldn't throw that part away! The disc isn't real Ivory, but the Scrimshaw is genuine. Thanks for Lookin',,, Ed the"BearMan" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BearMan Report post Posted October 25, 2009 Hi Storm & Ben, I wish I could say that I did the Scrimshaw myself, but I didn't. It was one of those things that I've had sitting around, saying "someday" I'll find a good use for it. I don't know if this was the best use, but I like it. Thanks,,, Ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
