Sinterklaas gifts: Wooden box.

Now that we've had a lovely weekend celebrating Sinterklaas, I can add posts about the two presents which were surprises. 

First up is the box which Arjan made for his Oma (grandmother). I found and adapted a pattern from the internet, which we drew onto a thin piece of plywood.

Arjan then began (very patiently) drilling and filing out the pattern.

And then more...

Until the entire pattern was done.

After that, the rest of the box was made, including comb joint corners.

Finally, it was varnished, before being filled with biscuits and wrapped with a ribbon!
