Letterbox

With photo step-by-step for carving

Tired of the mail always ending up scattered across the counter or on the kitchen table? With our handsome letterbox hung on the wall, now there's a convenient spot to place the mail, so everyone w ill know exactly where to look. And when the mail's all gone, the letterbox can double as a handy place to put that outgoing mail in the morning, so you won't forget to take it to the post office or oul to the mailbox.

Our letterbox is decorated with a mountain scene carving, and with the word "MAIL." Both the mountain scene and the lettering are easy to do. We've included step-by-step photos for the mountain scene (page 57). and for the incised lettering in our Special Techniques column on page 28. hoth b\ master carvers Rick and Ellen Biitz.

No.
