October, 2011—A couple weeks ago I found a well-used kitchen cutting board in a second-hand store. Bought it for $1.99. Cut off the drip/drain edges. Ran the flat parts through the thickness planer, to get the knife marks off both sides. Then cut it into 3 strips, and each strip into two halves. Stacked up and glued all 6 pieces to make a blank.
My talented and artistic daughter drew an interesting design on the face. All I had to do was cut it out, build it, and put a nice finish on. The finish is a clear water-based semi-gloss product for wood from Rust-o-leum, 3-coats. The drawer handles are small pieces of marblewood. All cuts were made with the band saw, equipped with a 3/16ths 10-TPI blade. The last photo includes a wine bottle for scale.

Interesting design. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a glued up (segmented?) band saw box like it. That’s some excellent recycling!

Art, I like the shape to this box, as well as both the shape, and placement of the pulls. Great re-use of the wood as well.

Nice job Art. I really like this one. I’m jealous of that nice piece of wood you salvaged from the thrift store. Tell your daughter she needs to do more designs for you. Great box.
-- Donnie-- listen to the wood.
Have your say...
