50th Anniversary gift

in #woodworking9 years ago

Hi everyone,

My parents are celebrating their 50th anniversary in October.

I picked up a golden anniversary spoon and knife set for them (gold plated of course), but it came in just a simple cardboard box. That wasn't good enough, so I picked up a nice piece of poplar and got to work.

Cutting, gluing, clamping, and eventually it looked like a box.

Then I recessed two magnets into the lid and some finishing nails into the box, this is a neat way to hold a lid on.

I used the middle part from the original packaging to hold the spoon and knife

Have a great day!

Thats extra special that you are able to make a nice box to put them in, wow 50 years, hope they have a wonderful day. My parents have just celebrated their 42nd anniversary which is odd as im 43! Hmmm.

Wow! You were a whole year pre-mature? Lol. Thanks Russell, I think they'll like it

Great job looks awesome, love the colour of the wood.
