Curly Ambrosia Maple Box

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


With some remaining Ambrosia Maple, I decided to take another shot at a little square box.The sides are 5” and the height is probably around 4”.It was a fun little project. The curly maple kinda steals the show… it has very robust grain patterns as you can see.I decided again that it didn't need a handle given its size. To distinguish the bottom from the top, I decided to paint a black band around the top.It was a trick (at least for me) gluing it together, and the miters still aren't perfect, but better.It's kinda nice taking a break from the clocks. I have so many of those!Be interesting to see if there's any interest in these little boxes.

Walnut Crotch

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


I had this beautifully figured piece of walnut crotch laying around for some time and finally had the inspiration to turn it into something other than a paper weight. I would have much rather re-sawn into thinner match booked boards but never had the bandsaw with enough capacity or horsepower.Mated with 1 inch and 9/16 inch Maple dowel slices.Finished with Tru-Oil.

brass and curly maple handle

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


I recently got a straight blade sloyd knife blank from pinewood forge and just had a chance to put a handle on it today. I modeled the handle after the spyderco puukko which I use as a larger carving knife occasionally and know is comfortable. I used a scrap of curly maple I had around and a piece of brass to accent the handle. I can tell I am going to get a lot of use out of this.
