Project Information
I was cutting up some flame box elder blanks getting them ready for bowls and some of these cut offs reminded me of watermelon. I thought I would have some fun with these and keep a few. Then I noticed they were nicely book-matched and decided to make a small plaque to hold some keys for out at our trailer.
The bark fell off but I left the edge natural after joining them together. The bottom hook is a little larger than the rest to hold my cap so I don't get spoken to any more about leaving it lay around all the time when I'm inside. ha
They were only 1/4'' thick so I glued on a backer board for support. 11'' tall and 5 1/2'' wide, finished with lacquer.
My wife loves it and I will install it this weekend. I still have to make a small coat rack to match.
