First time poster with latest project (toybox)

[Frank Pellow]

Welcome Dave. You have one very lucky nephew! I have made several toyboxes over the years but toy boxes are all that mine are -your toybox is a work of art.

I must add a quibble -It's too bad that you did not utilize the "real" Winnie the Pooh as drawn in the A. A Milne books and not the Walt Disney version. Sorry to bug you about this, but the "Disnification" of many things including Winnie the Pooh is a pet peave of miine.

Great Job Dave!!

Dave......Welcome! With that type of talent why have you just been lurking? You could be leading the charge.

[Bart Sharp]

That is just beautiful! How did you make the black lines to define the back/top of the head, under the snout, the edges of the legs, etc.? Hot sand?

And welcome!

Welcome to the Creek and thanks for the inspirational pictures! Despite Frank's tirade against Disney, I think your version was the right choice. I'm not sure that the original could have been done nearly so well. This box will be around for generations. I made some simple pine toy boxes over thirty years ago for my girls and they are still being used by the grandkids.

Thanks for the compliment and welcome Bart. Yes, I used hot sand to define the edges.

[Gary Simonns]

I know I'm replying to an old post here ...but... Wow.. this toybox is awesome. I've got my 2nd little one on the way and I'd love to make this for him/her.

Can anyone point me in the direction for learning this scroll saw marquetry?

Thanks, Gary
