Finishing touches

Allow the glue to dry for one hour. Apply oil finish per manufacturer's instructions, allowing it to dry completely. Cut thin pieces of cardboard to fit inside of the box assembly and cover by wrapping them in cloth. Place them into the box and install the pen cradles to hold them in place. Sit back and enjoy your box!
