Firewood box

[Ken Werner]

Made of hemlock and pine, finished with milk paint and linseed oil. Design taken from Thos. Moser's book, with the addition of a tinder box at the top. Machines used for major cutting an planing wide boards, but done with hand tools as much as I reasonably could.

Nice job. Love the color. Good work on the joints.

I've always wanted to make one of these. I like the hinged front panel, was that in the plan? If not, I think it is a good idea.

Nicely done.

Cool, now all you need is a spill plane. :)

Nicely done! What is the purpose of the small knobs on the right side?

the picture says it all.

Beautiful box. The last picture gives it the (size) perspective that I missed with the first post.

Which of Moser's books did the plans come from?

[Ken Werner]

It's an old paperback with line drawings, not exactly plans. I think the name of the book is "Building Shaker Furniture"
