Potato and Onion Bin

nice work ive been wanting to make one for awhile now. how did you do the graphics on the front?

Thanks! I bought the decal they offered at miesels. I was really surprised how well and quick it set up over the shellac. I think I only gave $5.00 for decal and $12 for all the hinges and ceramic knobs.

Very nice work. I love making things out of walnut. Did you fill in the knots with epoxy? I couldnt tell from the pics. I normally fill mine with a 2 part 5 min with a drop of dye to give it contrast.

Thanks Ken. I love walnut too but it don’t like me. Definitely one I have to use a respirator. I did not fill in the knots with anything. The front has a really small hole and the sides had a knot on each side that I popped out, they were maybe a 1/4’ in diameter. The customer wanted it to have a sort of modern aged look. Wasn’t sure at time if I was on same page but I apparently nailed it. LOL. I like the knotty look myself but am asked alot of times for projects to be knot free.

I like it~~

I hadnt heard of the site Lockes was talking about so I looked it up. For anyone interested, it is NOT miesels.com~~

It is: meiselswoodhobby.com

I do have one suggestion. If you have a router, I am willing to bet you could have done the decal yourself….That sign is pretty ‘easy’...You do not have to be an ‘artist’ you just have to be able to trace~~and set the depth of the router.

It looks awesome though….I just might try one myself~

Thank you dust for the correction I appreciate you doing that. Also, I love the suggestion. My next one I may give the ole router a try. Unfortunately with this paricular customer he had everything exactly how he wanted it. I tried getting him to sit and work with me on changing some things and doing things different to kinda make it his own as I do with all customers but his heart was set on it to a tee. Again great suggestion and thanks for looking out, I’ll definitely be double checking my site references.
