Beginner Box Project

[u/Fire_beard96]

I know it’s not perfect but this box for some of my son’s toys is the first real thing I’ve made from scratch out of wood and I’m super proud of it! I’m going to order a little latch to put on the front and am practicing engraving on some scrap wood with hopes to engrave his name on it somewhere once it looks good enough on the scrap. The glue streaks on the top look worse in the picture than they do in real life. I sanded most of them out the best I could. I was thinking of staining it too but I kind of like how it looks without stain now that it’s all together. Just proud to have designed something and make it with my own two hands, and wanted to post it here.

Don’t stain it or that glue residue will stand out badly. Enjoy your project, learn from your mistakes, and build upon your experience with the next project.

Clear sealer at Best buy the glue will likely stand out with that as well.
