Post by: wider on July 02, 2020, 09:27:17 PM

I have been wanting to do this project for a long time. It is a turning that Tony Wilson did in his demoed and I will be demoing as well.it is the most famous red post box. It is being used as a turned in to a money box. Made from Oak and stained with intrinsic colour from Hampshire sheen. All comments welcome

That is cute, I must admit, and a nice idea for a demo.

I love this, reminds me of the sort of money boxes that children used to be given when they opened a Post Office Savings Account.
