My husband Kent helped with the construction of these boxes by cutting out all of the pieces for me to assemble and then paint and embellish...Thanks Kent:)

This box is made from layers of plywood, glued up and then cut into this oval shape. I refinished it and made it very special. It has a great home! with friends.
