No Hardwood Box

Beautiful work as always. Great finish on it as well.

-- Nature created it, I just assemble it.

really nice box andy, ive got a block of that redwood burl, its marked for a certain project…yea the western red cedar is really soft, one time i sneezed on some and it was a real bugger to get it cleaned up….LOL….you did a good job here.

Andy, are you sure that’s not cypress? sure does look like it. Very nice looking box, knocking them out beautiful.

Nice one. Way to change it up with the plunge router. I look forward to your future plunges. Wish I had some burl but everyones wise not to entrust beautiful wood into my hands . That ply is pretty darn cool too

Definitely up to your “Andy” standards…! The burl inlay really sets it off and adds a unique contrast. Well done.!

Thanks all. Don’t think this was one of my best but I learned a lot about plunge routers and cutting inlays so it was worthwhile. Anyone notice how different the burl on the ends is? It was a separate piece with a lot of sapwood.

Randy, This WRC came out of the construction dumpster at my daughter’s new house. They are sheathing all the exterior beams with rough cedar.

Mike, You underrate your skills. I’ve seen your stuff and it is first rate. The local Lowes has a boat load of that wildly figured Luan ply. I should have bought more than the 1/4 sheet.

Very nice Andy…..love the inlay idea, looks great. Enjoy the new toy as well….first plunge router you say…..the scraps will be hiding in your shop now, in fear of being “inlayed” !

Looks great.

Nice work, Andy. I was sure you would do good things with the wood. I did not anticipate you wood need to buy new tools to work the wood. SORRY about THAT!!

-- Robert, so much inspiration here, and now time to work!!!

Jeff and John, I appreciate the kind words.

Robert, I’ve been looking for an excuse to buy a plunge router for a LONG time. You provided it! THANKS! I’ve got the second installment of the redwood burl almost finished.
