Another Tobacco Box
« on: December 08, 2019, 11:59:57 PM »
 This one was done for a member here. It is about 3 1/2 X 2 3/4 X 1". Bottom plug is Pine covered with Tin with 7 Brass tacks. The Lid is Pine with a Tim liner and is also covered with Tin and is attached with 2 screws and 8 Brass tacks. The stationary part is also Pine and Tin they are hinged together the folded over portion of each side of the hinge is riveted with 2 Iron pins. The knob is turned antler.
 Carla did the art work on it.

Somebody is going to have a really great Christmas!   :-)  I really like this blonde on Tim.  Very cool.  Carla is getting really bold and confident with her art.  I really like the script she did on this one.  God Bless,   Marc

Boy, Tim, these just keep getting better and better!  I love the construction, and that lettering just takes it to the next level!

As usual Tim. Awesome work. Kudos to the lovely lady for sharing her art. Can’t wait to fill er up. Of course it’ll live in the Tim C bag/horn set when it’s not in my pocket with my pipe.

And I might have helped it get deeper yet. Hoping Tim can recreate the one I sent him as an idea.

Bob, you're gonna love it. I'm thinking about getting a clay pipe to go with mine just to go with the rest of my getup.

I’m sure I will Mike. I have a entire section in my LR display made by Tim. His attention to detail is second to none. If you run across a traditional maker of clay pipes let a brother know.
