    Default My first box

    Heres my first attempt at a small box. I may have to make a few of these for chrismas I think

    Its jarrah with Blackbutt inserts to hold the lid on and American oak top.

    4 coats of oil and 1 coat of wax.

    Thanks Crowie

    In all fairness I have been woodworking for a while now so the box thing was not too hard.
    Its not the fanciest box so I may have to get more adventurous on the next one.

    As everyone has said....a very nice box.
    Well Done
    And my head I'd be a scratchin'
    While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
    If I only had a brain.
