My wifes Knotty Box

Very nice box. You know you can expect some comments with a title like that! Be prepared for some humor! Any way, that’s a great use of some other wise scrap wood.

That sure is a knotty box! It cracked me up when I read your title!

Very thoughtful use of what others might discard. Now it’s an heirloom. Some LJ’s projects inspire the heck out of me, like this box. Thanks for posting.

Very nice work of what some would just throw away. You did a good job on this.

Nice looking box, I’m trying to figure out what kind of wood it is, almost looks like Alder.

Thanks for all the complements. Its make out of pine. The boards the boards where 3/4×10 random lengths off of the sides of crates that equipment came in at work. by the time I got them planed true on both faces I had 1/2” thick boards. the Knots did make a very nice box have made one for my son also thats 10” x 10” about 5” deep figure it will make him a nice pistol box. Dont know if many of you use pine but I have founf if you have any kind of free site on the computor in your area people will come get the planner shavings that are pine to use for small pet animals I have a lady that comes to get them all the time I just put them in a 33 gallon bag for her.

Well done indeed! i like to see it when what is normally bound for the woodstove becomes an heirloom to be treasured.

I used to workin a local sawmill here near the Mississippi headwaters where they cut primarily pine and plane it into toungue and groove paneling and other high quality boards. One day a customer comes in and asks if we have any knotty pine. Being the smart a** that I can be at times, I say “Nope, ours is all well behaved!”

I have a house thats around 60+ years old has a living room and 2 of the bedrooms done it toung and grove 6” and 10” knotty pine I love it great country feel and never have to paint it might have to re do the living room walls have gottin kind of beatin up but looks like alot of work someday.
