This box was made from Sapele and quartersawn white oak (again from an antique table I save from the dump). The EOD memorial is shown on the top. I decided to add color to just the flag. All the decorative angles were cut using a hand plane, and slope from center to the edges (the wood shop was closed). I finished it with poly.
Note: I will be more careful in the future with second hand wood, I was very lucky my carvewright survived a screw that was broken off in the wood. It could have caused a major mechanical break or just shorted the computer out from the metal filings. I was very lucky.

Very beautiful. Wow! You were lucky. Someone lookin over. Glad your equipment didn’t get messed up, and/or you get hurt.

Nice box. Good call on the flag color.
Strange…when you are doing the right thing for the right reason how often you get lucky. Isn’t it?

I have a metal detector that I use with salvaged pieces that’s really been useful! It’s a wand type marketed for woodworking.

Thanks for the comments, I’m happy with the result. kjel00142003, the pitty is that the woodshop has one on the wall and I didn’t think to use it.
Have your say...
