Corner irons...

I am trying to finish up a few earlier projects. My "Tribute to John Ruskin" was published in 2003, leaving extra boxes unfinished. Now they almost are, so they can be coated with Danish oil and sold. 

These include corner irons fabricated from the old type of metal banding that used to bundle bails of wood and other commodities. Even that source of steel is a thing of the past being replaced by plastic banding for which I've found little use.

T'he corner irons are attached with tiny brass nails to strengthen the mitered corners of this sliding top forever box.

Make, fix and create...
