Barn Wood/Ambrosia Maple Box #2
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
After being quite pleased with my first box, I scoured the rafters of the garage and found several bigger boards of barn wood.I cut a piece of it about 3.25” inches wide. From that, I miter cut the 5.5” by 8.5” frame of the box. When I glued it together, I really liked the way the barn wood looked on the top edge. So… I decided instead of a lid that would sit on top, I would insert the bottom and lid flush with the edges of the box.I picked up some square poplar dowels and cut the interior frame that the lid would sit atop. I was going to stain the poplar dowels, but then decided I liked the look of the contrast of the light wood against the dark.While I was at Lowes, I found another Ambrosia Maple board that was pretty robust in interesting grain. I used it to cut out the bottom and lid for this box.I used my twisted wood to cut a handle.The box itself is finished in a couple of coats of spray-on, water-based poly. The lid is finished in a gloss wipe-on poly.I have several large pieces of the barn wood left, so I anticipate a few more boxes from it.
