This is a Walnut Keepsake Box I made for the annual auction at our church. I made it for our 1st Grade class and their retiring teacher Mrs. Dahlhauser. The box is made from Black Walnut that was harvested from a local tree on a farm north of us. The walnut was air dried to a moisture content of 8-9%.The Keepsake Box features the first name autographs of the 14 1st graders that I lasered into the bottom of the box along with honoring Mrs. Dahlhauser and the 1st Grade Class in the center.The box also features lock mitered corners, 4 corner continuous grain matched box and base trim, Brusso Hardware, hand pad applied Shellac finish, hand rubbed/polished and waxed to a satin sheen.I am happy to say one of the 1st grade parents won the auction, so the box is with a Trinity School family.
