Cedar Post Box

Project by whitedog posted 11 days ago 454 views 4 times favorited 17 comments Add to Favorites Watch

This is another box I made out of some old cedar fence posts that I picked up on our vacation to Colorado this summer, I have to thank my wife for letting me load these in the car to bring back. The size of this one was dictated by the lid. The lid is what I had left after I resawed the post, it just had to much character to throw away. This made the box a little on the narrow side, the box is 9 1/2×3 1/2×4 1/2 . I used Manzanita burl for the hinges and keys. Also I put a little Malachite in the lid. The last picture is some of the posts and some wood i found by a river.

Please leave comments and let me know what you think , thanks for looking.

Yours have got to be the most imaginative boxes on LJ’s, Paul. You’ve got a really special vision to see these, and a talent to make the vision become reality. Great work, my Friend!!

Great rustic box. Love the ive edges and free form feel of it. Nice re-use of an old post.

Keep it up.

I’d only see firewood out of that stuff.
Amazing, well done with your vision.
