What about the finish ? Any other want to jump in ? I am not about to heat naphta . I have seen to many exploded houses in my part of the world . You see naphta is used in the process of refining certain illegal ingredients. .. Part of my job is defining the legal mandate and rules governing overflight of these labs by certain aircraft with certain equipment on board need i say more....
Anyone with an easy answer on the finish of these boxes ?
Best wishes for X-Mas.

Bob i forgot to add , the lettering is done by pressing a hard metal tip into the wood to form the letters and then filling in with black paint.Burning would of involved making a branding iron like the one used out west to brand cattle and horses.
