I tried to get a picture but would have to pay to down load.
I'll do it but I'm not going to get in a hurry and waste wood on a screw up.

I found a picture but this one has scrollsawn sides and ends. I did a few like that but it is very time consuming.

That one has a Christmas theme, the two that I made for Patty had doves and was more peace oriented. Those sides took about 30 hours to complete.

I have a magazine with the plans in it.
I do thru dovetails on the corners to hold the body of it together and square. That eliminates the hours of scrollsaw work.

I haven't made a dime on them and I make them all out of scrap wood from a project like I just completed.
