KBH 7 Posted January 28, 2010 I was given a old mahogany silverware box (actually, my wife wanted it until she saw what shape it was in). I ripped the guts out and refinished it, recovered the inside and made a nice little insert set out of mahogany strips. Now I need to find a brass OP label and if anybody's got an old Panerai crown guard that's worthless, I could make a little handle for the front. Think I can find a Pam freak over on Rep Geek to sell it to? Updated with new pix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

doctorron 0 Posted January 28, 2010 Looks great. I made a brietling box in similar fashion. Watches didn't fit well though. Yours looks better and more accomadating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sconehead 5 Posted February 5, 2010 Looking good KB...any chance of turning this into a sideline? I think there would be plenty of potential buyers out there... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBH 7 Posted February 5, 2010 Looking good KB...any chance of turning this into a sideline? I think there would be plenty of potential buyers out there... Too much trouble scouting up old boxes. I'm going to need a sideline the way the stock market's going this week. I've already lost the equivalent of a gen Submariner in the last 2 days. Seems like 1/2 of Europe is going in the shitter and taking the market down with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
