longrifle Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 I came up with these to keep up with my guitar picks. Making flip top boxes is how i use my little scrap pieces of good wood. They can be made in most any shape. The ones in the pictures are mesquite, walnut and burlwood cedar. I have others from cherry, sassafras, cypress, and box elder. I make picks from walnut and mesquite. They are too hard for me personally but i have some friends that really like them. I thought ya'll might enjoy seeing some of them.

longrifle Posted July 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Thank you. I have a good friend that has an old time sawmill. He gave me a couple of really nice cedar boards from a butt log. There was a big splotch of burlwood in the stump end of each one of them. lol..I promptly cut that off and started making little flip top boxes. They are the prettiest pieces of wood I ever sawed. The one with the "R" is walnut and the one on the left is mesquite. Thank you again RIck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
