Spirit Work Box

This Spirit Work box is made from a reclaimed antique Cedar sewing box that is beautifully made and beautifully lined with fabric, but just needed some love and exterior refinishing. The wood turned out gorgeous after I sanded it, oiled it, and gave it a good coat of beeswax with my homemade wood balm. I pyrographed the lid with a memento mori design inspired by old tombstones – the negative black space is all pyrographed making the white images raised.
