Myrtle box W/sandstone top

Really great project! I love the mixed media approach, but I am really bowled over by the legs. How are they attached to the box, and do you have any techniques on their manufacture you would be willing to share?

I just saw that you are from Coos Bay. I wanted desperately to move there several years ago after reading an article in National Geographic. Visited in the mid-nineties, both there and Eugene. Ending up marrying (by the grace of God) a Nebraska woman, so no plans to move for a while. Welcome aboard to Lumberjocks. Hope to see lots of your projects.

This is a terrific box, WBM. And in case you didn’t know, I just love small wooden boxes. I’ll be visiting your projects often to see the additional pic’s you post, and the answer to Douglas’ questions on this one.

Pretty nice box for some one who just cut some wood and saw where it goes from there. ;^)

I love the mix of wood and stone. This is beautiful.

thanks for the comments.

Douglas, I moved here to Coos Bay 5 years ago.I love it

Don, I’m starting to think you might really love small wooden boxes…LOL

I added some pice of the leg jig

The legs are 3/4 inch square alder cut to 3 inches in length with a 1/2 wide and deep dado cut in one side that stops 3/4 inch from the end and chisel out the one round corner.Then trace the edges with the jig and sand it on the stationary belt sander. It’s easier to cut the dado first. They are just glued on with wood glue, I taped all the edges where glue could squeeze out to make clean up easier.

Roy,
Thanks for the description and the new leg photos. Gotta give that a try.

Like Doug, I like those legs on the box. That makes it quite unique. Now you just need a matching piece for the lid. Great job.

By the way, I think Don does a search each hour on the word “box” just to make sure he sees all the boxes..just kidding Don.
