Wenge/Hickory Project

[David]

This is called a tapered, splined dovetail joint. The lid and dovetails are made of wenge and the box is made with Hickory. This one was tough, but a lot of fun to make.

 

 

This is the wood with two coats of polyurethane--there's no stain used on either of these woods.

Not only is the box beautifully made, but that's a pretty impressive photo. Love how the grain matches up on that corner. Be so kind enough to let me know when you are taking orders for humidors...

[Quinn]

Great job matching the grain around the corner.

I do want to make a humidor. That sounds like a blast, and a chance to work around different woods.

Great job matching the grain around the corner.

 

Thanks! I was hoping someone would notice. You never know.

That kind of joinery is above my pay grade. Working with toxic wood might be, too.

Dude, you're a woodworking maniac. I haven't felt the urge to engage in woodcraft since I finished my coffee table a year and a half ago, and you're making picture frames, cabinets, end tables, cigar boxes, cutting boards. and from the pics, it's all top-notch stuff; you've got fantastic attention to detail.

 

How 'bout a burlwood dashboard for my RT?

Right after Jake's cigar box!
