Here's a few boxes I made for the kids and grandkids. I try to make small things for them to cherish after I'm gone. I used a combination of a bandsaw and scroll saw to roughly cut out the boxes and the figures on top. Then I used files and chisels to shape them before hand sanding each piece up to a 220 grit .Everything is done by hand. Each piece has imperfections. No two are alike. Then I mixed up some paint and glue. Carefully painted the insides before throwing some flocking in there. You get better color penetration when you add some acrylic paint into the glue....or rather a touch of glue to the paint. Else the flocking can be seen through. All in all I like them and am going to be making more.

I ran out of magnets so only have half finished.

> Was the change in grain direction for Jack's lower jaw planned or the result of a happy accident?

I pay attention to wood grain direction. Sometimes I'll take my pattern and change all different directions to see what it would look like before tracing the pattern unto the wood.
