April 7, 20233 yr Popular Post comment_312080 Seems like these took forever. They look blotched because I just wiped them with MS looking for glue spots. On to finishing. A tip for anyone contemplating these, the paperbox box tissues come in are all not the same size across brands. That's why I had to make those square ones on the right. My first ones fit a Puffs box, then Puffs changed sizes...and then I found out the Kleenex were about 1/8" bigger than the smaller Puffs. The rectangular ones fit the Kleenex 160 size (maybe it's 144 now); the only one we buy in that configuration. Edited April 7, 20233 yr by Fred W. Hargis Jr Report

April 7, 20233 yr Popular Post comment_312085 If you refer to the one on the lower right, it's actually (I was told) curly ash. I'd never seen anything like it before and had one board gifted to me by a guy who was selling me some cherry. It was a good sized board, but he had cut into 3 pieces thinking he had it sold to another individual. Report
