A few boxes

[Andrew Gibson]

I had some off cuts of cherry and some veneer left over from a few projects and decided my sharpening stones needed a place to stay safe when not under water. So, I made these boxes. They have also given me a good chance to practice my hand cutting of dovetails, and veneering.

In order of build from left to right. First 2 are finished with home brew poly blend, 3rd is finished with danish oil and Shellac.

Looking for suggestions for an inlay pattern for the 4th box yet to be started. I was thinking maybe a Fleur de le... for no reason in particular.

Ooh this was my third compass rose. The first two went on a pair of rockers I made for friends. I decided I wanted one for myself.

Very nice cribs for your stones...

Great way to practice those hand cuts Andrew. They turned out very nice.
A fitting place for the stones. "stone cribs". Nice work again.

Man those are some fine looking boxes for your stones. You will have to invite your friends and neighbors over for a stone box party. :rolleyes: :)
