Popular Post John M Posted August 27, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Been making this little box for a while out of solid Walnut. I decided to add little something to them so I made a length of checkered material for the tops. I randomly cut the tops to maximize the material. Size is roughly 2 1/4 × 2 1/4 × 1 with the storage being 3/4 deep with clear lacquer finish.

preprius Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) So i count 6 to 7 squares across. At 2.25 inch that is roughly 0.3 inches. per square. How did you cut these strips? Edited August 27, 2021 by preprius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John M Posted August 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 They are 3/8" squares. Started by gluing up opposing stips. Walnut Maple Wanut etc. Then cross cut at 3/8 so you have strips of squares. When gluing up you spin every other one to make the checkered pattern. This board came out approximately 6" wide, all on all I believe it was 75 strips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
