A while ago I have posted about a wooden box that I have acquired with intention to clean up a bit and use for storing the shaving gear. Finally work has started.

Today I’ve finally got round to sanding it down and putting a layer of wood darkening stuff (it’s in french so no clue what it says lol!). Came out a bit darker than expected but I do like it. Now to let it dry for 24 hours and then to lacquer it (was wondering about oiling it, but not sure how absorbent it’ll be)

here’s few pics of progress so far
 
You're going to need a bigger box!
Good job though

Paul.

Thanks Jay! Same here - wasn’t expecting such a dark one so first moment when it was still wet it was a bit of a shock, but once it dried it has really nice colour! Lol yeah I really might! The plan is to keep fragrances in there too

Yeh as much as it’s nice to have fragrances on display I don’t..I keep them at the back of a dark draw and have never had an issue with them going off best way to store most products I believe
 
Great idea, and it's turned out impressively. When you first posted about it on the other thread I hadn't imagined it was quite that big. That's a proper pirate treasure chest. You'll have to get some Extro Pirata to go in it. Love the idea of a false bottom! Perfect for hiding recently acquired 'contraband' or straight razors.

The old "lacquer merde du chien" works well!

Swmbo just saw me replying, gave me the look and said don't get any ideas
 
Thank you! Yeah it is really decently sized, just used rub n buff on hinges (silver one since only got that and black) so for now it’ll have to do that way, maybe will get brass coloured one sometime soon.

haha might need to!

haha now you need to do make a hidden floor compartment instead !
