Popular Post Unknown craftsman 265 Posted September 26, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Here's a box i made from the Figured Oak i posted in the wood section. I thought it came out nice. Kinda scary looking just in time for Halloween.It measures 11w x 7d x 4 tall. Working the wood was very nice. Grain direction was all over the place.So i did a lot of scraping and that went very well. I didn't have enough for a solid lid so i made it in three sections.Each one is like a little piece of natures art. The finish is Blonde shellac and polished with pure lite button lac. Now its super shiny. Aj 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Coop 7300 Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Beautiful job AJ. How did you do the concave on the lid sides? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Unknown craftsman 265 Posted September 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Hey Mr Cooper,I used a gouge then a file.Then a goose neck scraper.And finally sandpaper wrapped around the file. The inside parts of the lid were finished before I glued it up.The outside was shaped later. Thanks to everyone for your nice comments dispite my poor photography.

RichardA 4975 Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Brusso? Well done, I haven't seen curly white oak very often, you did very well I love how the curl hides the dovetails. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xxdabroxx 288 Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 As a person who generally only considers oak for firewood, that is some amazing looking oak. Great job! Can you post a picture of the top side of the lid? How did you join the lid panels together? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
