Those boxes look nice. The purpleheart is really purple! Hubby made me a pen and I was really disappointed because it was hardly purple at all. I traded it in for a maple (I think) one with a nice grain.

My daily project was completed on January 25, 2012, but you can still visit my blog The Daily Turtle if you would like to see my adventures making or photographing a turtle every day for a year.
They turned out really nice, Del. I like that purpleheart. I can't always get mine that smooth.
I belt sand with 120 grit than with ros 6" ridgid sander go with 220 grit than 400 grit I know most say 220 is good enough Oh well 400 is real snooth that is what i do to all my box's When i spray my sealer coat and sand And than apply my top coat It is smooth Some wood need's to be sanded a little more Don't hurt a bit I use M.L.Campbell products Which i find work's for me And i get it local That's a plus Thanks for looking
Those look really good, Del. I don't know a thing about wood-working, but that sanding process must take for ever! Anyway, it's worth the work. They're soooo pretty!
