A Recipe Box for a Bride

That is a very well done recipe box. I like it a lot. Good job.

-- Use it up, Wear it out --------------- Make it do, Or do without!

Looks great!!! You know that was a labor of love!

-- Every day above ground is a good day!!!

That last pic really helped me a lot. I am relatively new to working with wood, but I used to do sheet metal layout work and that last pic was like a light bulb going off. Thanks man…..you have given me a lot of new design ideas/techniques to try out by using sheet metal layout design on wood!

I love that you are using woould that would have been thrown away by so many others.

What a great gift, well done

Hi Ben, pallet wood is my middle name.
Its just a little harder to work with when working with hand tools. The grain goes all over the place. More sanding, less planing.

Jay, that is just the funniest thing, woodworking with metal layout design. Please check out the blog too.

Thanks helluvawreck, “Craftsman furniture” was simple in design. I like it too.

Terry, I would assume it will be right on the kitchen counter, or somewhere close to it.

Thanks Woodbridge, I hope she will say the same.

I like this: simple design, all wood construction, great looking finish. Sure it’s a small project but the person who gets this as a gift will probably keep it forever, filling it up with their favorite recipes over time, and will always think of you whenever they use it. I think that’s fantastic.
