The Woodshop Shed

Keepsake box first all hand tool project

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


I made a box out of some scraps that have been laying in my neighbors shed for about 25 years he said. I asked him if I could have it to make him a box for wallet keys phone etc… its obviously spalted maple and some mystery wood from a pallet sent from Asia he thought a long time ago. It looks like walnut but its a soft wood and very open poured. Its really nice to work with using hand tools but hard to finish being so open. If anyone know what it is let me know. I was thinking some kind of cedar but it doesn't smell like cedar and easier to work. The joinery is the rob cosman method of dovetails and his saw which is awesome to use. Thanks
