    Default Merbau & Tassie Oak 2 Drawer

    This one didn't work out as nice as I'd hoped, but it's passable, (just). I thought I'd still post it because this section has been quiet for a while.
    Merbau and Tasmanian Oak, the lining is felt.
    I was trying out a different technique. It almost worked.

    Thanks mate.
    Those gaps stuffed it up a bit, unfortunately. I got a bit careless with the bandsaw and had to sand out an error.

    I like the Merbau/light timber combo. Merbau comes up pretty nice with a finish on it, sort of a chocolate colour, but it takes heaps of coats to fill the pores.
    The Tas Oak was just cut from old bed legs discarded by Captain Snooze. I've got a heap of them, about 12 x 5 inch square by 2 foot long pieces that I resaw as needed.
    My next box will be the same timbers I think. I've got a design shaping up in the back of my mind.
