Next, I sand the box with a "fine" block and a 330 block.
I haven't been using the boiled linseed oil/mineral spirits (BLO) on the boxes; I may try this in the future.
Small Jigsaw Puzzle
Paperwork, Part 2
The next step is the box label. Since it's easy to lose the puzzle pieces (and it needs to be done sometime), I go ahead and pick out a box and label it.

The label mentions the species of wood the box is made
from, so I edit the label appropriately. I then print it out on the
laser printer and cut it out with the paper cutter. I use the
"bounding box" and no crop marks on the label. I cut the
label just outside the bounding box.

I take the label and test-fit it on the box with the lid all the way in. Note the where it is in relation to the edges. I use the same 3M 77 spray adhesive and center it on the box. |
| Like before, I take one of the scraps of paper and roller to smooth out the label. |

About three coats of Deft lacquer helps protect the
label. I also spray the box at this time as well.

The paperwork is done. We've got just one more step before we cut: stacking the pictures. We'll do that on the next page.
