Boxes

Project by Dale J Struhar Sr posted 21 days ago 426 views 1 time favorited 8 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Here is my first attempt at making a box using box joints. I built a jig to use on my router table. This box is intended to hold napkins on the dinner table. I’ve made four so far a gave them away. I finished it with eight hand rubbed coats Formby’s Tong oil and then about six coats of Briwax.

Nice box! Reminds me of German chocolate cake. The way the colors go together. Its making me hungry..Nice box joints, and splines on the framed top too.

Wish you hadn’t mentioned the German chocolate cake prime8! That box looks delicious! Great job on your box Dale. Hope you get to keep one of them before long.

Great box! What woods were used? I really like the figured sides and the dark top and bottom!

Fantastic box. Great design and build. Fantastic choices in wood colors/grain. The dark top and bottom are set off nicely by the figured sides and inseets. Nice added touch with the keys in the frame corners.

Keep up the great work.

A very attaractive box and the woods used. I like your habit of giving maximum pictures so that the project can be seen in total. I wish others also follow this practice.
