Dovetailed Walnut Knock Box

Another gorgeous project. What did you finish with? Tried and True, or something a little more waterproof?

Thank you! I hope the amount I am posting isn’t annoying, I’m kind of back-filling my profile here with projects.

For this project I used two coats of Osmo polyx hardwax oil. I really like that stuff for non-period pieces.

Very beautiful!

I had to search the term ‘knock box’... for the finished picture I thought it was a toilet paper holder, but a very classy one.

cheers

Project postings are never annoying, especially something like this. Nice! Heck, if people don’t want to look, they can move along to something else!

And I too had to look up “knock box”. Turns out we have one too—it is by Rubbermaid, and we keep a plastic liner in it, in the kitchen … :-)

Luke;

You can annoy us all day with the type of projects you are building.

Thanks for sharing.

Wow, those dovetails look perfect. Impressive accuracy for hand cut joints.

Good one.
I too had to look up “knock box” and I make espresso every afternoon at 4:00.
Who knew?

You can actually see the quality in that walnut!

Awesome. Makes me want to get a better backsaw and scrap the idea of buying a dovetail jig. Those might be the best dovetails I’ve ever seen.

beautiful work. Thanks for the tip on the alignment boards. I’ve not seen that before.
