    Chisel Box

    Chisels thrown in a drawer doesn't help them any so their own box was needed. A recent issue of Woodsmith had one in it and I took that and adjusted it a little. Also tried out a few new methods. All the wood used on this box came from members on www.woodbarter.com. The box frame is curly white oak from Pennsylvania, the walnut splines are from Virginia.

    The inlays are cutoffs from a guy in Maryland that makes herringbone rolling pins. He first glues up a rectangular blank and then slices the corners off with his band saw before taking them to his lathe. I took the scraps and refined them down to various lengths and widths for inlays.

    The lid panel is zebrawood BUT it's veneer from a huge box of veneer that I got from a member in Kentucky. My first attempt at veneer and certainly not my last. Thanks for looking. Had fun trying some new techniques!!

    Those antique brass lid supports are going to be changed out with polished brass ones as soon as they arrive!

          It's a great place for woodworkers!! I was showing my wife a flyer, Woodcraft I think, that was advertising cutting board kits. The exotic wood ones were going for $89 + shipping. There's a member on WB selling kits, which are a little larger, for $13 +shipping. His wood is top notch.

          Thanks for the nice words

            I definitely plan on looking at it more and will probably join. I haven't been doing wood stuff long so still learning. Funny you mentioned cutting boards because that's what I was doing this morning. Had some scraps so cut and glued up a couple small ones.

                          They have some nice stuff for sure! I'm getting some of those cutting board kits you suggested. I'm still figuring it out but I like that site.
