I loved using this ancient relic box. It is solid wood and tattered paper. Almost done but for one more string and setup. :^)

Thanks Brydon. It's an old mandolin bridge with a brass sadle. I sanded it flat. The little brass hinge tailpiece worked out good too.

Thanks Pick, Darryl. I just stained the neck with oil paint. Darkened to look more like the box. I'll sand it to bring the highlights out when it's dry.
