Wood and Metal Shadowbox

Those corners are glued and brad-nailed into boxes of various shape and size.

3. Now the creative process begins. Apply the final color and adorn the boxes with metal, other wood, leather, photography/artwork, and combinations of other boxes.

2. Cut the wood into the desired lengths on a miter saw, with mitered ends, creating a clean professional looking 90-degree corner.

4. The metal could be aluminum, copper or brass. It could be hammered, treated with chemicals to antique or patina it, and cut into any shape.

5. Other woods and leather pieces could be colored or textured and cut into any shape, like the back piece.

6. Photos and/or artwork are chosen to add to or create a theme for the box. This is all attached together in various ways and lacquered to gloss.
