This is my first attempt at a smaller box than my treasure chest. Sorry for the picture quality. Please ignore the defects, I know they are there. This box was made of scrap pieces of oak, walnut, and spanish cedar. I just gathered what scraps I could find, and kind of let the box design itself. I found a beeswax and orange finsih, and I really like it. I’m pretty sure it will be the finish I use on oak, but it isn’t very nice for pine. I have found that I really like spanish cedar.

I’d call this ”Box Jazz”! Free spirited and ad-libbed! The wood may be mixed, the design somewhat obscure, and as you say, perhaps with a few not so obvious defects. But it works and is original!

Hello Steelwinky;
—-a very good designed box, and I like what you said about letting “the box design itself.”
Not much use in telling folks about the defects I have found and I’m to busy selling these things as character…. and that beeswax for finish is great . Anyway, keep working the wood and turning out these pieces of ‘wood art’!!!
GODSPEED,
Frank

Yes, that finish is great, and one of the few (if not only) that smells good during application and after!

Mark, I have the legs, seat, and runners finsihed, more or less. I need a break from the chair for a while. That way, when I begin again, I’ll have a renwed interest in the chair. Not saying I am bored with it, but I dont want to rush things. I did thank you for the tape , right?
