I have several boxes left from my painting days, this is another that I popped the lid's wood off to recess for needlework. The stitchery is not perfectly centered and installed yet, because I think I want to paint the box.
This wood color is sealed and I already have several on display, so painted it will be. A brownish greenish rust.
Stitched my initials. Couldn't find a container to wrap in leather for a drum, all were too tall. I have spools of fine leather lacing and may attach to the rim's edge.
Have a good day folks.

Neat how that all came together through your work and creativity. I like it very much 🙂
I think that is stunning. The fabric color is gorgeous, and with your beautiful stitching on top, that box looks like a real heirloom.
This is absolutely stunning!!! Even without being painted, but I like your idea of paint. Can't wait to see it completely finished....

Just so beautiful!
It looks already gorgeous and I think the box is more pretty than a drum.
