Popular Post forty_caliber Posted June 26, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 My daughter asked me to make her a small box...Presto changeo, ala kazam.... Had a lot of fun with this one. Not bad for a first box. I wish it had turned out a little more centered, so that the variations in wood types were more even. .40 Ron Altier, Fred W.

Maple, hickory, mahogany, and walnut for the finial. The box used 1/2 of the glue-up pictured below. The hickory had some nice figure to it. Maple and mahogany were 2" furniture squares. Alternating checker board squares on either side of the hickory. .40 lew, p_toad, FlGatorwood and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
