A quick and easy project for presents. This is the third year in a row I have had family and friends request "more tissue box covers" ...
These are made from scraps left from other projects ... the most difficult part of the build is getting the stock milled to 1/4" or so when the scraps are of mixed size. All of the joinery is 45degree simply glued together.
The left most in the pic is all redwood from wood my dad had milled by hand in the 1950's to make a bench/table. The center in the pic is some pecan I had left over and the right most is a combination of quartersawn red oak and cedar with a pecan top. The finish is original waterlox high gloss that I wiped on with an old teeshirt.
