Recently I spend the princely sum of 10 euros at a local thrift shop on a wooden box, and here's what I got:
I intend to use it as a shave box (if that is the correct word) to store shaving related items.
Did not do anything yet to improve or alter it, and I thought I'd share a few quick pictures and see what ideas we can come up with.
In the top, a lot of shaving soaps fit:
It has two drawers as well:
One for some more soap, and another for razors:
So in total it looks something like this:
That's not a bad start, and I now have to decide what to do with it.
I am looking for suggestions about how to develop and improve this shave box.
Should I treat the wood with oil or paint? Or otherwise?
Does it need a lining (I think so, as it has none) and what woud be a suitable material for such a lining?
Any other ideas to make this box better or more useful?
Any help greatly appreciated!
