    jewlry boxes for the young'uns

    I started these back in June and finished four of them and then quit and just now got all of them done. These are Chrismas gifts for my youth group girls at church. I didn't worry about wall thickness , didn't figure teenage girls are going to care about that kinda stuff. They are all ambrosia maple and between 4 and 6 wide. Walnut finials flocked with red velvet. Thanks for looking

    Very nice work Mike, now you can show them how in the hands of a master craftsman, the LORD takes bug infested , rotted lives and turns 'em into something to be cherished, loved and displayed for all to see HIS handy work. What a great tool for the witness..Keep on keepin on...Maranatha !

    Beautiful work, Mike! I'll echo Paul's sentiments, and would also add: Perhaps there's something from Psalms that could be quoted and put in with the boxes?
    That's not a light at the end of the tunnel; It's a naked singularity.
