![]() 1048 forum posts 1235 photos | I had been asked to make a small case for two bottles of wine as a Christmas gift. I had a little time on my hands this afternoon so I got stuck in with it.
I had some Maranti spare from another job so thought I would use that. I have had to glue up the lid as the last piece wasn't wide enough and this will slide into the top of the box. It will also have a message routed into it. It will have a central divider between the two bottles. Not sure if I should wax it or use a varnish? |

I had a little time to day and I got nothing like this done, have your tools cooled down yet? Ron |

![]() 1048 forum posts 1235 photos | LOL, Yes Ron they have. It's a good job I use a spiral bit for the box joints as the two flute cutter isn't fast enough for me. ![]() |

![]() 1048 forum posts 1235 photos | Thanks guys. In between my other jobs I managed to get the lid made and a coat of sealer on it.
I have enjoyed making it as it has made a change. :D |

![]() 1619 forum posts 201 photos | Mailee, I have taken your advice and ordered a spiral cutter. I ordered it through the firm my daughter works for, with luck she will remember to place the order before Christmas, I hope she treats her customers better than this!

![]() 1048 forum posts 1235 photos | Yes guys this has been mentioned on another forum but this is exaclty as it was wrote down by the customer and I think it is for a French friend of his so I assume the spelling is correct. I didn't notice it until I had the top marked out but can't Reach him at the moment to ask. I am just crossing my fingers it is correct. |
