Al King Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 My name is Al King and it is a pleasure to be joining all you great woodworkers out there. I am excited to be part of this forum and to be able to showcase some of my projects. I like turning northern cedar in my small shop and also building custom boxes.

Chestnut Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Welcome boxes look nice. I like the idea of lining the box with money from i assume vacations. That could be mixed with using wood from the area the money came from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassAct Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Welcome aboard, Al! That's some great work you have there. My FIL enjoyed turning as a hobby but didn't get to your level of quality. Enjoy the folks here on the board, it's a great crew! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Nice looking work ! And Welcome to the Forum ! We call that Eastern Red or Aromatic Cedar . There is an Atlantic White cedar but I've never used it. I think they made wooden buckets with it. So many names for similar stuff. Until you get down to genus/species it's hard to tell.

I made this for my 5 year old grandson for Christmas. I used Mod Podge to glue the money and then applied more of it on top to seal the surface. It dries clear and is waterproof. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al King Posted January 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 First, Thanks for the greetings and kind words. I have been looking around the internet and this site is BY FAR a real woodworkers forum. I see already a clansmanship of dedicated and friendly woodworkers that exchange ideas and info. A true breath of fresh air ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
