What I have been up to
« on: February 13, 2011, 05:18:15 pm »
Finished cutting yesterday. Glued up and finished sanded today. Will fit hinges and apply linseed oil next weekend. Made from Spanish Ceder.
Pattern by John Nelson in the fall 2005 issue of Scroll Saw work shop, Now known as Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts.

I'm sure my wife will be the recipient when it's done. The woodworking club has a bimonthly challenge. The challenge for March is simply make a box out of wood. It is not a competition, but every participant receives an entry to a special raffle for a nice tool.
