Great job RGi... Those little lasering addition, give the box that added pzaz.
Was not pushing TM... any brand works... it's just that the filler levels/sands easy ... problem is that when you bling it up, it's a shame to hide. I usually opt for ebony (or walnut) to provide greater contrast, but then I usually do that in bland MDF.
I've always found the decision of the hardware to hold the lid is always the hardest decision/challenge in making these type of storage boxes...
The other that has me stumped is picking the right font... so many to choose from... though I often gravitate towards pinewood, for the workshop.
Word of caution... If your engraving has fine detail, take care infilling so you don't break off the "small ribs" with the spatula... push down first before just dragging across... 2nd. or further coat supported by the dried 1st.
Your Sid made me chuckle... after engraving the image of the Woodpeckers image on the box, it reminded me of a ghost, hence the change of Box to Boo,
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
