Baby Totoro keepsake box


It's been over a year since I've updated this blog! Sorry. Well.. here's one of the newest projects. A small wooden keepsake box for a friend. Baby Totoro. It's a bandsaw box.

Printer ran out of ink. But still good enough to use.

Glued up a few pieces walnut. To a nice block.

Spray glued a printout of totoro onto the block. Then with a bandsaw and a scrolls, cutting the silhouette out.  

The hole cut out for access to the drawer

Eyes. Made of pine, I think. It's cut from a dowel. (End grain)

Belly is made up of a thin maple veneer

Small nose is made up of maple again. It's an inlay

Pupils are made up of walnut. I cut them out with a plug cutter

Ears double as a lid for the second compartment.

Special date: Sept 3, 2018

Ready for a Teak Oil finish.
