A larger box
So I bought a lump of wood from some guy on eBay. It was listed as being a piece of iroko, but I had my doubts. Anyway, at less than £6 I thought I'd give it a go. This is the eBay listing photo:
I took it down to my friend's shop (I don't yet have a jointer), to plane the roughsawn edges off, and here's what was underneath:
Now, to me, that looks more like elm than iroko. But I don't know much about it tbh. Anyway, I'm going to make a slightly bigger box with this one, should be a bit of fun
