Replica Antique Whiskey Box
I have an antique wood whiskey box that I think looks really cool! The customer would buy a bottle of whiskey, which came in a beautiful wooden box. From my research, I believe it was made in the 1950s. It looks really cool, especially the stamps on it. So I decided to try to build a replica version of the box.
It’s an antique so the condition makes it difficult to see all the details. That caused a lot of setbacks and frustrations. Plus, it made me find pictures online of other wooden boxes to get a better idea of how it was constructed and the details of the stamps. All said and done, I am blown away at it! I really love how it turned out. I never expected such a spur of the moment idea to turn into one my favorite projects ever.
