The picture frame and box. Getting a few of these built gave me some good practice doing the joints I need for my next procject. Also practiced brushing on shellac.
This is the joint I want to use on the doors. I saw a source for a set of router bits that will do this, but I figured out how to do it by hand. The outside wood is Walnut, the inside is Butternut. Finish s shellac
The box with lid off...
...and on. The woods are Walnut and Cherry. It really is worth the time to figure out how to put on a nice coat of shellac. I am limited in what I can use, and this gives a good alternative to drying oils and water based stuff.

I have a plan on the drawing board that is going to require some decent skills making doors and also in drawers and boxes in general. Rather than practice on just scraps I tried to figure out something useful to make and help me develop the skills I need. So these are the practice objects. I've probably made five or six vaiations on the box, and three samples of the picture frame (pretty close to the doors I plan on making). I am only showing you the ones I want to. The other thing this approach is helping me learn is how to give something a good shellacing
