An old family friend requisitioned this one from me and she had very specific ideas on what she wanted.
She tells me that the symbol I punched in the tins means something in Chinese, but I forget what. Possibly it means "punching twelve patterns in tins makes your arms tired". Very wise indeed. Not sure I would volunteer to do any more tins anytime soon. =)
It turned out pretty nice...even though the color is way to bright for my tastes.
There were three pieces so it took me about two months from design to finish. I did everything in batch so it could have taken longer. I did all the milling at the same time, then all the joinery/finish cuts at the same time...etc.
You can check out what it looked like from start to finish (and the plans) here.
