I decided to use the Harry Potter theme. It was one of my son’s favorite movies when he was younger. I made it out of walnut. It’s been stained and coated. Doing this it actually came out darker than I planned.

Thanks jules
You got a really nice finish on that…the gloss looks good. Very professional.

Thanks , but up close I have some spots I that just didn’t come out right. Mainly because of the grain of the wood and the dark stain I used. But I’m happy with it.

Such a nice box, a real collector’s item! When you said music box I was expecting to see a little hand crank music box in there but I gather this is for storage of CDs and such, right?
I have one of those hand crank music boxes that you put the song on paper (and you can make your own) through. Keep meaning to make a box for it, and a walnut one like your would look great. Gotta stop being lazy!

Turned out very nice!
I’ve about decided to drop some dark brown acrylic on my next walnut engrave … before removing the masking. See if I like that better.

It’s been my experience that with walnut you don’t need a stain. It will darken over time with just a clear laquer or poly.

Hi. I found your Harry Potter music box on the free laser forum but i can’t find your files to download. Did you share this file?
Thanks.
Where is the free laser forum? The designer of this file shared his project here in the Made on a Glowforge category, but that is not the same as sharing files.

No problem. Awesome project though.
This looks great! How thick is the walnut?
