My next project? A scabbard for the UTV?
I have a leather scabbard for a scoped rifle that has never been used. It's yours for the asking. I'd love to see you decorate and use it.
Thanks for the offer, Check your PMs.
I'd bet I could find something to send in return... even though you didn't ask... :P

One last task on the project. I went out this morning and waxed and buffed the wife's box for her sewing room. She says she'll keep the extra feet for the machine in it. I love the smell of the beeswax, and the soft luster it adds to the boxes. I am a tad jealous that Miss T got the best grain and of the complimentary contrast of the mahogany and the spalted maple. They really set one another off. :twisted:

But, I guess that's the way it's supposed to work. Aren't they supposed to get the best of us? She does so much for me, so I WANT her to be happy.
She lit up when I handed it to her, that's my reward for the work. Her smile...

Coming from a woodworking hobbyist, that box is beautiful. Great work.
