BTW, this finish was suggested to me by a professional box maker
selling his wares at an art show in Boulder, Colorado (Pearl Street,
for those of you familair with Boulder)....Actually he used Tung oil
and BLACK BISONT Wax PASTE WAX.

With all due respect, a decorative box has a primary function of looking
pretty. The requirements for durability on a dining table are a long way
from a decorative box.
