I'm unemployed and broke so I started a little project to ease my stress. I took some of my finds and hand inlaid into homemade wood box.got a ways to go but coming along.

That's neat!
 

wow that's a nice looking display.hopefully the job hunt will work out for you soon.
 

What a great idea!
 

I'm using the copper wire I dug up on the beach for a custom border. Very time consuming but relaxing. It will get a light stain and polyurethane clear coat for finishing touch.

Very cool box, looks like it was a tedious job, looks great!
 

Very creative and cool - gives me inspiration.
 

That is gorgeous!!!!!!!
 

Awesome job! Gives me inspiration too. Thanks for posting!
 

It looks great! I too mess around with wood working and piddling. Just curious on what epoxy or glue did you use? I'm sure almost any adhesive would work. I really like the copper pieces inlaid! Gives it a native look to me. I like the way copper looks all cleaned up


Proud to be a Texan!
