Plenty of needleworkers use the #5 for the tools of a project in progress — scissors, a thimble, a small pincushion, the thread currently in hand. It is lined with beautiful Gleason’s Pictorial 1854 newspaper. The papers themselves are sealed with a thin acrylic coat, then adhered to the wood, smoothed flat, and given another protective coat over the top. The result is a surface that handles daily use without being fragile.
