My neighbor got a GlowForge and said she would cut things for me, so I got this pattern & wood, and she did her magic. I put it together, sanded it, painted, and sealed it. I also created the cover in Photoshop.
I like the way it opens from the back instead of opening like a book. It seemed unique. I tried to paint the sides so they looked l like the paper from a book.
What a great idea, and an item I’m sure the recipient will treasure forever. I love the “spine” of the box, and how the sides really do look like pages.
