Another Moxon vise.
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
I've wanted a Moxon vise for some time and finally pulled the trigger. I know Red Oak is not the preferred material but it's what I had on hand. I didn't want to drive to Boise and back for hard maple. It's 250 mile round trip. I also did something else different I used Black Walnut Danish oil and I gave it a couple of Poly varnish.

Face pieces and ears are finished with dewaxed shellac, body is 3 coats of satin wipe-on poly. Also shown are the first two chairs, teddy bear and monkey.
