The Woodshop Shed

Walnut baby box, smaller edition

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


I had to whip this one up real quick. I had taken some rattles and toys to the vet with me because they all found out I was a woodworker and wanted to see…. So the head vet asked if he could purchase a rattle and sheep for one of the techs who is pregnant. I said give me a week. Mistake – snow storm and freezing temps makes shop time minimal! Kaylie loves our rescue dogs, and has a special place in her heart for our elder blind dog, Toad, so I wanted to do a little something extra special for her. So I used what walnut I had and make this box, it's about 7.5×5.5×5. As far as a rush job in the cold goes, I think it turned out perfect and she cried when I delivered it today. The head vet had no idea what I meant when I said, 'a little something extra' and he was blown away too. Definitely put a smile on me for the day! The toys are finished with organic cold pressed flax oil/organic beeswax and the box is finished with 6 coats wipe on poly and 2 coats wax. Please look to my previous baby boxes for credit where credit is due for mom/baby and rattles!!Thanks for looking :)

Ziricote & Baltic Birch Plywood Hand Plane

Plane was made with Ziricote & Baltic Birch Plywood. The adjusting mechanism and blade are from Lee Valley. I built the plane as a test to see how stable it would be (less wood movement) using plywood for the core. Plane takes a nice shaving. Very happy with the end result.
