    Default Accidental box

    I had some short cracked bits sheoak pieces left over from making some wooden spoons and decided I would use them to make a box for an oilstone. After sanding and oiling the box the I was pleasantly surprised at the grain and though you'all might appreciate seeing it. Don't look too close at those joints!

    Very specky box, Bob. I though it was a jewellery box or something, then I saw the stone(!). I won't post pics of the box I made for a stone.
    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

    Yep, unfortunately I showed it to her, and she said, "I want one of those, & why can't I just have that one"?
