Spent a few hours on the weekend restoring an old timber box. This box I purchased from an op shop years ago, and had painted it antique white to cover up the original ugly, dark stain. Only now have I felt the urge to restore it. Using vinegar I scrubbed off the white paint, and adjusted the height of the box, sawing the sides down to a depth that is more user friendly. Replaced the clasp and hinges, then coated the wood with natural linseed oil. The beauty of the wood exposed again to the light of day.
