Barn Wood/Ambrosia Maple Box

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Barn Wood/Ambrosia Maple BoxI've had some barn wood sitting in the garage for a long time now. I always intended to do something with it, and today ended up being the day. I had purchased some particularly worm-damaged Ambrosia Maple from Lowes, and this box ended up being perfect for it.I took the miter saw to the barn wood and then spent some additional time with a hand-held floor sander getting the wall frame of the box as level as I could.I cut the top and bottom for the box from the Ambrosia Maple. The edges are stained in a “weathered-grey” stain.Once the glue holding the barn wood together was dry, I sprayed on two light coats of water-based, satin poly. I was pretty pleased with how that turned out.The Ambrosia Maple is finished with a few coats of wipe-on gloss poly.Earlier this spring, as I was walking through town, I noticed an insurance company had cut a bunch of growth from around its building. Not sure what kind of wood it was that corkscrews around itself, but I grabbed a branch of it for later use. As it turns out, a five-inch section of it was perfect to use as a handle for this box. I'm really happy with how that looks!Overall, I'm pretty pleased with this 5.5” by 8.5” box.
