cjswoodcrafts Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 wood is a mystery, will have to check my book of wood pics, my own design, just used the table saw to cut about an 1/2 inch cut for the lid, scrolled cut the inside box, bottom is oak plywood 1/4 inch red felt finished with linseed oil with an oak knob i got from the store. easy and simple, but looks great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montgomery0 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I have been looking at boxes to see the best way to make and incorperate something more than 4 alike strips of wood a top and bottom. This is a grand Idea to use on a special piece of wood such as you have done. Ill be looking for that special piece now. Have you discovered what type of wood you used yet???? Monkey ??? Indoneasian toyin?? Very Nice..Much Respect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjswoodcrafts Posted March 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 as far as i can see with the wood pics, which i have printed all the pages from hobbithouseinc.com the closest i can gather is the wood is santos mahogany, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
