Popular Post Fish Posted February 5, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 My wife’s recipe box had so many recipe cards in it and was so old it wouldn’t close anymore. I used a pattern from a book I’ve had for awhile and double the size so they would all fit. I used walnut for the box and oak for the Celtic symbol for “I love you always”. Everything fits in it now and some extra space for more. I used 321 for the finish. I’m working on another using Poplar for my daughter. She really liked it and there’s plenty of room for more cookie recipes. John B, GrampaJim, jollyred and 18 others 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don watson Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 Great answer to a storage problem. My wife has quite a few pieces like this and they may be better in a box like this, thanks for the idea. Don W Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preprius Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 you know you could take your phone camera , grab a photo of each recipe and scroll saw each one. That does 2 things. Preserves the recipes and hand notes on a computer, also gives you alot of patterns. I guess if you make the recipe cards bigger you will need a bigger box. Or hang the the good ones on the wall. Maybe magnets on the back for refridgerator recipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
