December 16, 20169 yr Popular Post In the past, when making boxes with Quarter Sawn White Oak (or any other wood, for that matter), I didn't like the way the lid frame edge would be flat sawn...... unless I used a piece of flat sawn wood for the frame, then the edge would be quarter sawn, but the frame would be flat sawn.... I solved that problem by cutting a bevel down the length and flipping it, then gluing.... keeping it marked so I can line up to match the grain on the front, sides and back (the frame pieces are lighter because I ran them through the drum sander once, but they do match up..... The completed box picture is an example of what I didn't like... the rest of the pics show "the fix"..... Now it'll be quarter sawn all around.... Should turn out nice!

December 16, 20169 yr Cool! I like the temporary "spline" trick to keep things aligned at the corners
December 18, 20169 yr Author No, the glue seam won't show as it will be hidden by the mitered corners....
December 29, 20169 yr Author Popular Post So far, so good.... grain matched up perfectly.... I'm happy. I'm working on a few boxes at the same time, it'll be a while before finished,but I'll post a pic or 3 when it is...
