That’s a nice project. Very different.
I think it will be a huge surprise.

Well done.

Absolutely beautiful. Have you considered lining it with leather or felt or something to protect the inside from jostling contents?

Brian—-I did consider lining it up did not want to hide the wood. He will be carrying his matted pencil drawings and I don’t think they will be a problem with the inside.

Use it up, wear it out---Make it do, or do without.
