Fence Post Box

Very nice box. Very nice lid.
I guess those green lines (or blue maybe) in the box lid represent rivers flow to the canyon or falls.

Great box. Love the mix of wood with stone. The “fence posts” never looked better.

Keep it up.

Scrappy

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

Very nice! Interesting that all of the parts came from “throw-away” pieces of wood. I love the use of stone in the box and malachite is a great stone to put in any project. Are the keys in the redwood from the cedar fence post, or from the “firewood”?

Man, you make the wildest boxes!! Really Cool Work as always, Paul!

-- Mike in Manchester, NH---Unpleasant tasks are simply worthy challenges to improve skills.

That’s such a unique design. Great use of all the woods and the stone adds the final touch. Very nice.

-- John @ Myrtle Beach

how do you do that … add the stone i mean… love the box

Strikingly beautiful. It really pops. Why the penny inside? Is it a tradition? How do you get the stone into the grain?

-- Sharp tools and thin whispy shavings make woodworking a joy.

COOL!!!!

-- Only the Shadow knows....................

kevin- the keys are from the firewood , i like to use them in dark wood it doesn’t take stain.

rob – yes the penny is like a tradition and it dates the piece. as for getting the stone in the grain i usually start where there is a crack or bug hole ( i like to work with old wood) and enlarge it if i have to. then i grind up the stone and i put CA glue in the crack and add the stone. then sand and repeat till you get what you want.

I love the different woods. Great contrasts. Cedars are my wood of choice anyway, and the western varities sometimes have very different and unique colors.

-- A childs smile is payment enough.

Do you know what you started, all the lumberjocks are gonna go out and start tearing down their fecnes for projects.

Great job though.

-- If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail!

Great work! Scraps don’t exist any more. You are very creative. Congrats. And I’m particularly impressed by your hinges.

Best,

Serge

You are making some unique and signature pieces. Very cool…..............

-- mtnwild (Jack), It's not what you see, it's how you see it.

I like the hinges too, many times I see hinges that I think might break should someone accidentally drop the box.

Thanks,
