I wanted everything to be carved from wood and added no wood filler. It was quite a challenge to fit everything together inside the top of the box. The shell handles were carved from a large dowel rod, and aged to look like vintage paper shotgun shells.
Finally, I carved the acorn closure for the box and added an unexpected touch by carving a turkey feather for the inside of the lid. I remember what an ambitious task this carving was for me at a young age!
I hope you enjoyed seeing this and it adds inspiration for those people wanting to try their hand at carving.
