This is a box we will be useing in our entry way for unloading the days junk. It's coastal oak , its 12×9x4 . Not sure if I like the size yet , but I do like how it came out.
Paul, the grain and coloration of this piece is wonderful. I can well understand why you put it in the entryway since this is one of the first things that visitors will see when they come in. It really is an eye catching piece.
I'm really liking this wood , and it makes it nicer that it is free. The lid on this box is from some older fire wood , they think about 10 yrs. old. The finish is Watco Med. Walnut then 3 coats of wipe on poly satin.
Paul the wood is beautiful, but I especially like the use of the smaller branch pieces for corner and leg stands, lid holder…..really creative…...........yoda
thanks rick and jim … rick i try and attach all of the hinge and leg pieces with dowels and glue it's probably over kill in some parts . most of the time they are concealed but some times i make them part of the design.
