Negotiation & Planning

Esther Oriku (21. March 2017)

Hi
Kindly give me the measurements that's the height and the circumference and the type of wood.
Though olive wood would be the best but has alot of challenges
Thank you

Automated Translation (23. March 2017)

About 25-30cm high and 30cm circumference, I'd like the type of wood to be Olive wood.

Esther Oriku (27. March 2017)

It's ok I will start but as mentioned earlier Olive wood has challenging due to cracking if it does not go well allow me to use jacaranda .

Esther Oriku (29. March 2017)

Hallo
Kindly allow me to use jacaranda wood.
Thank you;

Hi
Have started the box as per the video.
Now what furnish will I use or what colour to furnish with.

Similar to the picture, but it does not have to look 100% the same.

Thank you and best regards

Hi, the money box is complete but the lid is slightly big. Let me see whether I can make it fit the box if not so I will redo the lid. Sorry for the delay.
Thankyou

Automated Translation (10. June 2017)

Hello. I think that's exactly what makes the box special:)
It's not an issue if the cover is a little bigger.

Regards
Lana

Hi thanks alot for the compliment. I will now do the final touches and send the final picture of it. Then start the shipping procedure.

Esther Oriku (7. July 2017)

Hallo Sorry I had forgotten to label the word OBENDRAUF.
again it will be labeled on the lid since the box is big.
Thanks

Hello
If the writing has not been done yet then please let the letter 'd' be small and all the other letters in capital letters.
So:
OBENdRAUF
Thank you! and regards
