Tissue Box

[OzarkSawdust]

I did a tissue box over the weekend. Steve Good has a couple of these square boxes on his site. I did this one first in Poplar...ran out (thought I had another piece) so I used Oak for the top. Some Minwax Shades in Pecan. I'm with some of you...tab joints are a pain, may not do them for a while.

I'll try the other design soon. It has a box...then several different sides you can choose from. I'll do several boxes, then choose a couple different side panels.

I designed a standard tissue box last night and cut out solid sides. If it works OK I'll try to design some fretwork to either cut on the sides or make glue on panels.

Great boxes.  Make a little box joint jig.  I made this one years ago: https://www.woodsmithplans.com/plan/box-joint-jig/

It works perfect and fully adjustable.  There are simpler one the work great also. Lots of plans on the internet.

Thanks Dan! In your show pictures I saw a couple with the candle holders in it. They do look better in Maple and Mahogany! I have some of both coming...May have to redo that pattern in hardwood. I also picked up some boiled linseed oil...going to try your "home brew" lol.

Very well done Gary. I like tab joints and they look great on certain style of boxes.
