The Memory Box....

It took a while to complete but it's finally ready for the photo session...lol. 

It started out as an old wood box that spent a good deal of it's life aboard one boat or the other. It was dirty and rough so I cleaned it and sanded it the best I could.


Once it was prepped I slathered the paint on.


Next came a bit of hardware. The porcelain handles that went with the middle nob didn't work out so I substituted them for some brass. 


I had to wait a while for my friend to cut the memory label out for me but I must say it really added to the finished look.



I lined the bottom with a bit of blue tissue paper and stuck a few of my own things in just for the sake of the picture.


And there you have it. The finished Memory box.
