Popular Post Fish Posted June 10, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 I fially finished the pattern Bob made. I used the whole pattern for the top and half for the front and sides. 1/4" Oak and no idea what I'll do with it, probably sell it.

munzieb Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 Dan that is a truly nice box. I have done a similar one in oak and it is time consuming and blade consuming but definitely worth the effort. Nice job! Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Posted June 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 Thanks everyone. I have another half of that box done due to making a mistake, then having to buy another piece of oak and it finally matched. The other pieces aren't even close color wise. One piece of the wood was really light and one really dark, it was all red oak. It's amazing the difference there can be in two pieces of the same kind of wood. Some put a colored liner in a box like this? I have never tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One piece of the wood was really light and one really dark, it was all red oak. It's amazing the difference there can be in two pieces of the same kind of wood. Some put a colored liner in a box like this? I have never tried it. I have made several different types of boxes and try to add a felt base. I use the adhesive felt but found the stiffer type is easier to install. The thin stuff pulls too much. I will cut a 1/8" or 1/16" (if I can find it that big) so that it drops into the box and take it out and adhere the felt. I usually don't glue in place incase I want to remove it. Several people have suggested flocking. I have not tried it yet but it would not work for an extensive fretwork box like yours. If you plan on doing this in the future, add the felt and base thickness dimension to the height/sides of the box so it stays below your fret work on the bottom. I have also used 1/8" colored Plexiglas for the sides. It cuts like butter with a 60/80 tooth blade on my table saw (Leave the paper on!) I glue it on with contact cement brushed onto the wood or just go for interlocking snug fits on the sides. If you also do the felt, the base will help lock in place.

danny Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Beautiful looking Pattern and Super cutting. Clean looking. Excellent Looking. Hey guess what? I LIKE THAT BOX. Funny story. Say 5 or so years back I got into that type boxes. Yes Crafts Show thing. Only ONE....Well I carted them boxes back home that first year. Lots of Looks and Likes and Many Compliments. I was Only asking $40.00. I had an assortment of a Dozen of them. Different sizes. Well the second year Still no Buyers. Even did the thing of marking the price down to $35.00. SAD. Well the THIRD YEAR CAME. Was in November. Kept the price at $35.00. One lady was Really liking them and wanted to buy FOUR. Said my price was To Cheap. Said her husband has been working with Wood Hobbies forever. So she did buy Four and Paid me $50.00 each! Wow! Double Wow! Oh yea her husband never got into Scrolling. OK nuff Boring Story.........................Danny :+} munzieb and Fish 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
