I had some spare time today so i decided to make this playing card box out of some oak scraps I had laying around. Nothing too big or fancy but a nice little project for a day

How did you do the graphics? Printed stick-on, then peel after painting?

Exactly, I drew the graphics on my iPad, printed them on stickers, cut them out with an exacto knife, then spray painted everything with gold paint and finally I removed the stickers.

looks nice! Did you stain the top, or dye, or burn, or ?

The top is spray painted black, the rest is oiled with linseed oil

Edit: The hearts and the 2 A are gold paint, kinda looks like unpainted wood in this picture
