The weather is promoting more time in the shop. I needed a place to store some recently acquired carving knives and gouges and I had small board of leftover QSWO. I resawed it on the bandsaw and wound up with grain matching sides and a bookmatched bottom. The top is a scrap of QSWO plywood, also a leftover from an old project. Construction is glued M&T for the sides, with the bottom and other parts attached with a little glue and tiny cut brads as is traditional. It's pretty rustic. Finish is a 24 Hour fuming with diazo print ammonia (30%) followed by natural danish oil, shellac to seal, and paste wax. I love fuming. It turned the oak a nice toasty brown except for a streak that runs through the center of the board that apparently was free of tannins.
