Anotherscrap Box

Very stylish, nice combo of colors…Blkcherry

Well done! Good looking design and wood combo. I have those Rockler cut offs and will attempt to use them for a box of some kind. I was a little disappointed in the assortment I received… you take your chances… not very many species.

I think my preference would be to reduce the thickness of the box sides given the overall dimensions but then maybe you need that for inlay? Or, is that the resaw issue you mentioned? Wonder if I can resaw on my little table saw. Inlay and resaw is something I haven’t tried.

Nicely done.

hey man like the padauk,nice and bright.And no I can not tell this was your first time at doing a inlay,you gave it away man.what finish did you use.Now that padauk is going to lose some of its color over the next 6 months or so,unless you used a uv inhibitor.I have a desk top from padauk and I was sad to see it lose its color, but after a couple of months it leveled out and I think I like it better than before.cool box ,keep them comin.

Thanks a lot LJ’s! I appreciate the comments. Yeah Dusty, that was what I was referring to about the resaw. I would have liked for them to be about half as thick as what they are. Sidestep, I used Minwax Antique Oil for the finish. I’m actually hoping the color will change a little like my last box has. It’s a little more on the red side now and not so much orange. Thanks again for the comments.

Very nice box. Really like the wood choices. Sometimes the cutoffs are the best way to get a veriety of woods at very little cost.

Like you said, not being able to re-saw made the sides a little thick. Other then that, I LOVE IT!

Great use of lines to draw the eye accross and around the outside. Very nie build.

Great use of scraps!

Keep it up.

Scrappy

-- Scrap Wood's the best...the projects are smaller, and so is the mess!

Your box got praised on the woodworker’s source weekly e-mail.

Nice work! I never would have known it was your first inlay job.

You guys are too kind. Thanks for the heads up Joe. What an honor!

Really good use of color.

This is an awesome box. Great and very good looking use of scrap wood.

The current economy has us all looking to the scrap bin to maximize every piece of wood, and this box is a wonderful representation of that.

...And it’s you’re first inlay job? Wish my first looked as good.

Keep up the awesome work.
