This recipe box has an interior divider allowing for two sets of recipe cards side by side. This box is made from recycled Cherry. I set a 3” Incra t-ruler in the picture to give an idea of size.

Hi. My name is gbvinc and I am a LumberJocks addict.

For therapy, Martin turned off the website in our neck of the woods for two whole days and made me build recipe boxes. This is one of them. Maybe after I have successfully completed therapy, I can give it away as a birthday gift to my sister-in-law. This one is made from recycled Cherry wood, recovered from her grandmother’s table, and Walnut. It is pieced together with box joints. It is coated with Watco Natural Danish oil.

Another box to fill with chocolate and gift cards for our ‘Montana’ daughter’s Christmas.
(We keep track of the kids geographically.)

I have never made a bandsaw box before, so this was an interesting little project. Now that I figured out how to make them I will need to try one as elaborate as I have see here on LumberJocks.

A little (6”x6”) box to hold some Christmas goodies we are shipping to one of our daughters and her hubby. He is in the Navy, which makes it difficult to send larger presents, so I made this to fill with chocolate and gift cards and send their way.

The box is made with an Ambrosia lid and a Walnut handle, Walnut sides using box joints, and a scrap piece of I-don’t-know-what for the bottom.

A cedar blanket chest I put together.

Frame and panel style with mortise and tenon joints and raised panels all the way around.

After I built the screen door, the boss decided we needed something to go around it on the patio.

A “woodsy” screen door. The door is white pine, the trees are cedar. All mortise & tenon, with additional square pegs attaching the bottom panel to beef it up enough to withstand grandkids running in and out.

Had some of that 100+ year old recycled Cherry left, so made a knick-knack bowl in the same style as the Silverware tray.

Made from 100+ year old recycled cherry, modelled after an antique. Now it just needs to age long enough to look like cherry. (Oh honey, don’t buy that, I can make it!)

Primitive Style to match the wall mirror. Had to make a couple more of these too.
