Two months ago my wife and I lost our second daughter to an extremely rare lung disease. She was 27 days old. This was, and still is, by far the toughest time of mine and my wife's life. I turned to the shop to help heal and cope. I decided to make a "keepsake" box to keep our daughters things in. I thought I would post some photos of the box. It is now home to the few things we have to remember her by.
The black sides are red oak that were ebonized with steel wool/vinegar solution. The rest of the box is poplar. Everything has been coated with about 6 layers of amber shellac.
