This was just a little weekend time filler. It’s a bit of a departure from my usual style. I’m calling it “Katrina” because it’s built up on pilings to protect its contents from the next flood. :-)

Construction is walnut and maple, with birdseye maple veneer on top. Finish is Danish oil followed by three coats satin wipe-on poly.

Nice Box. Those pilings are quite sturdy. Make sure your levys are in good shape.

Good idea. Now if we can just get that idea across to those that live in those low areas.
