The Box

About two years ago we received the devastating news that a dear friend of ours was diagnosed with terminal cancer. We were very fortunate to have more than a year to spend with him after hearing the sad news. During that time Paul asked Blair if he would make a pine box for him. Blair was honoured to do this one last thing for Paul, and of course Blair being Blair, he handcrafted something much more spectacular than a "box".

The top of the box was crafted from laminated 2 x 10, and 2 x 6 clear pine. Blair wanted to create something very unique and deserving of such a wonderful man. He carved an absolutely amazing angel that would embrace Paul forever. This project was emotionally draining for obvious reasons, but the end result was so rewarding!!

The base was built from solid pine and lined with "Toronto Maple Leaf" flannel material - Paul's favorite hockey team! The box was was secured with blue rhinestone saddle buckles.

Cheers to Paul - an amazing friend!
