  I wanted the overall effect to be old and well used, but not beat up. I sanded the box lightly with coarse sandpaper to get rid of the original finish unevenly. Then stained the box with an ebony stain. The uneven sanding ensured the stain was also uneven. Finished with a butcher block finish for that light patina.

  The soundhole cover is something I found on etsy. The shop owner was making wood xmas ornaments, got a hold of her and asked if she could do this for me.

  All excellent, but the sound hole is tops.  Tell us about it.
