Small Box "B"

You’re not a quitter that’s for sure. These joints look great!

Thanks BB. Quite an improvement since yesterday!

Again a very nice box. The joints look great on this one also. I really like the natural edges of the box… Nice job Debbie!!!!!!!

thanks :)

Now I have to build a shelf or something for this set to go on.
Hey—I built a set!! The paper tray, the paperclip box, and the pencil holder!! A matching set! :)

Another nice box, the joints are so much tighter, keep at it Deb, you’ll put us all to shame, you already put me to shame :(

-- Cheers

I have a long way to go re: the joinery but, hey, I’m proud of my accomplishments so far (it’s only day 2!)

I owe it all to the Willow. I want my house filled with this stuff. I do LOVE it.

you’re a freak, that’s for sure. I see improvement.

I see improvement too Obi. leaps and bounds.

I really like your grain selection. Very nice.

And a grand pencil box it is! I for one like the box joints and the look of it.

Can’t wait to see more Debbie!

Well now I’m going to have to try harder.

Looks great…this is proof that you can get better with practice….and a bit of patience. I really like the willow. I may take a closer look at my neighbor tree next ice storm. He is thinking of cutting it down due to the damage from the last storm.

Very nice, Debbie. I’m a big fan of finger joints. The modified spacing is cool.

wow, this is just your second one? Really like the look of the wood.

Debbie… Now you gotta do one with dovetails with your new Router…

P.S. This one was better than the last…. Nice work

Now all these boxes need is a little carving on them!!! Nice box!

thanks :)
Yes my second attempt.
Router: still waiting for a table (we’re heading for a year of waiting… it keeps going down farther on the list. I need a planer now!! hahaha)

Carving.. still practicing when I have time. Willow should be ok to carve, I’m thinking.

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Thanks everyone for all of their feedback.
Now it’s time to assess all that I have done.

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Nice work Debbie
That willow really stands out nicely.

I’m slowly getting there.. :)

I like the willow. You putting any kind of finish on these?

I’ve tried some different tactics.
My final and favourite is just a wax finish.

Your not only writing in this forum, but you’re also producing, & getting better with each project.
Willow is great for carving also. My Peregrine Falcon is Willow.
I have some Willow in the round yet, & thinking I may rip some into boards.

Very, very nice Deb… with each piece your craftmanship is getting better and better. The grain in that box is just wonderful too. Thanks alot for sharing. Can hardly wait to see the next one!

I really like the natural look or this box and some of your other projects. Perfectly milled stock is overrated and stiff-looking. Good job and good improvement.
