    Default Box in Recycled Jarrah

    Recently I was lucky enough to score some Jarrah floor boards from a post on these fora. When people give me second hand timber, it is my custom to make them something out of the timber that they gave me as a thank you. Usually it's either a frame or a box, or both. This time I made a small box sort of a desk box type thingy. All the timber is from the floorboards. The boards were trimmed of their tongue and grooves, then dominoed together to give a board wide enough to make the entire box. The lid panel is made from a board resawn and thicknessed to 6mm, then cut to length and joined to make the panel.
    The finish is Tung Oil/White Spirit mix (1:1), hard burnished and rubbed down with a dry cotton cloth.

    Regards,

    Rob

    Thank you for the kind comments everyone. They mean a lot. Artme, the first two photos were taken in the workshop in a mix of natural and fluorescent light. They are very close to the actual colour. This was very light Jarrah, I almost thought it was Karri!

    Regards,

    Rob
