Firewood Box

Very nicely built box with decent finish.

What is the price likely if you were to buy it at the store? Just curious..

Thanks very much for your comments woodworm. I found some wood boxs at antique shops in the $200 to $300 range, but they were pretty shaky and had a lot of wear. Many of them didnt have lids. I never did find much in the new market. I was able to build this one for about $125 for materials. I have sold a few of these boxs for $250.

You $aved a lot and made $ome, that is great!
You know, I was surprised to learn that one dining chair costs $600 in US. With that amount of money I can buy a decent complete set (one table + six chairs) in my country. But good woodworking tools and machines
not only easy to get but they are much much cheaper in US. That’s why maybe, not many people like me in Malaysia.

Thanks Wayne for responding. Take care.

Yes, things are a bit expensive here. Sometimes the cost of just the wood is prohibitive. Its best to find some places that you can buy wood at a discount otherwise it costs a fortune to build.

Those are some great items in your gallery. I especially like the coin box. Its really sharp…nice job.

Keep in touch…great talking with you.

Wonderfully designed box . I think the leather handle will add even more charm to the piece .
