RoycesLeather Report post Posted March 7, 2021 A Box I made to hold my Grandpa's toy motorized train from when he was a kid. Makes a great family keepsake will be enjoyed for years to come. Had a blast making this so I thought I'd share. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YinTx Report post Posted March 7, 2021 I really like how you got the colors on the leather to compliment the colors of the wood, or vice versa. Also, the train scene is phenomenally colored! The whole piece has a great nostalgic aura. Thanks for sharing! YinTx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scoutmom103 Report post Posted March 7, 2021 That's beautiful. What a wonderful way to store a family heirloom. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoycesLeather Report post Posted March 7, 2021 Thank you everyone glad you like it. Here is a picture of the inside of the box had trouble attaching it to the original post so hopefully it will go through this time. The train is enclosed in glass and there is a battery operated light that can be accessed from the back. My sister did the scenery on the inside of the box with fabric. So it is truly a family treasure. Thanks for looking Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
