This is getting closer...
 I think I'll just put the 8 on the face of the box. Making the assumption that the mailman knows what street he's on... I've joined some lovely book matched flamed maple that I can mount kind of like a plaque, once I rout the edge...  If I center the 8...  Sanding and staining it red in a tasteful kind of way.... Maybe she'll let me hang it out front near the door...

I agree, the number is enough for the
Nice job, beautiful wood, hope that 8 doesn't turn into a snek in the full moon.

That looks really good.
Did you find yourself reaching for all kinds of different tools to figure out which ones would work best? I'm impressed at how flat it is in the center of the circles. |

Be careful some guy on the next street may try to steal it.

I used the other end of the piece I carved to give it some more depth.  And recessed the hinges

Stacking them like that really dresses it up. I thought it looked good before, but looking back, it looks pretty lame compared to how it pops now.
Well done! |

So your house number is just 8? No other numbers?

Um.. Yeah?
The highest number I've ever had was 1124, but the others were 40, 16 and 10. Some day I'll live at 1 Hekm Rd. #oldrichwhiteguy

I thought this might look good...
 But Amanda exercised her veto powers, so... Experimenting with color on the maple and birch.

I've never had a house with less than 4 numbers. Our current one has 5.
