Oldwood Boxes

What nice boxes and a good save on the wood. Great jobbigogre…!

-- Every step of any project should be considered your masterpiece if you want the finished product to reflect the quality of your work. http://www.FineArtBoxes.com

you can stabilize the punky wood by thinning down polyurethane and pouring it in a large heavy plastic bag then tape the top closed around a shop vac nozzle.
Keep it going on and off until no more bubbles are visible coming from the wood.
Remove the piece, let it cure and it will be as hard as a hookers heart the day after payday.

Great work!

A handsome box for sure and a great save.

Sweet box! I like the wood grain on this! Nice Work!

-- Tony C , My high school shop teacher said "You can do it"... Now I can't stop!

Very nice wood, but I also like the neat work on the corners. The splines didn’t need to contrast to do their job.
On to the next beautiful piece of wood! You know it will be found.

-- Robert, so much inspiration here, and so little time!

You have come up with amazing wood once again! That curly oak is becoming your trademark (I love it but haven’t seen any around me). The subtle splines were just right for this one. Dallas- Good tip and a great analogy!
