Rope-Handle Pallet Box

The holidays are over and it's a brand new year.  We've been rather busy with some big news here at the Cottage.  In a few weeks I'll be able to share, but for now, let me share another project that was a Christmas gift.
I made this box for my daughter's boyfriend.  After making the wrench-handled one (see that one HERE), I decided it was time to use some rope.  I'm starting to run low on pallet wood, so I've been using up my scraps...man, am I glad I saved them - they're perfect for the ends!
After cutting all the pieces and adding the paint/stain finish, I drilled holes in the ends for the rope.  This is the easiest handle since all you have to do is tie a knot!
For Christmas, I filled it with some favorite 'goodies' and a gift card.  
There are so many ways to use these boxes:  Gift-giving, table centerpieces, flower boxes, mail collector, the list goes on and on.  

I still have a few more scraps waiting for me, along with a new Dremel SawMax that I got for Christmas, so stop back again soon to see what else I can create!

Happy New Year from The Cottage.  Be sure to stop back again soon. You won't want to miss our big news!
