TOPOMAX CHALLENGE #3: A little more done
I glued the box together, sanded it, then did the padauk border at the top and bottom. I tried to get some decent pics of the grain. I’m not a photographer, sorry.

I'm a woodworker in Orange County CA and I'd like to think that I have a vision. The vision is much like those of others.....To make something beautiful from wood. I will go through much of my life with this vision, passionate, hoping that no matter what I can still follow through...and in the end there will be my vision, alive, waiting for the world to see.

Well here is some new progress on the Topo Challenge. It is NOT glued together at this point. Just has a few pieces of tape to hold it together to get pics. I need to break it down and dado out the groove for the bottom. Then I need to sand prof...

Alright Topomax you’ve gone and done it!! Your “facetious” comment has given me the drive and motivation to improve on this “style” of box. I realized you were just kidding of course but the challenge was still there...

Well ladies and gents here are some more progress pics. I think this may be the end for awhile. I need to start a new job and it will be taking up all my free time. So this project will be on the backburner unfortunately. Anyhow, the back rest...

I guess I will have to get some pictures up soon.
Thanks again

Thanks for posting pics and blogs of your projects, I am learning soo much from them. Been a remodeler for years and not much of a furniture builder. Mostly built cabinets and trimouts. Your STAR Door ROCKS.
