I’m with Greg on these. Great varity of niclet figured woods. That says it all?

Monte, nice boxes. Consider a design like this? Or, a top like this? You have chosen some fine wood to work with here.

-- Big Al in IN

Allright way to go!

I shall dig out a project I did from a similar situation and post it with acknowledgemets!

-- Regards Rob

So glad that you got the opportunity to use/salvage this nice wood. An LJ’er of your caliber really does it justice. Wonderful craftsmanship. And Box Guy those are likewise superb.

Monte, awesome box’s and nice woods. These look to have the side mounted wooden hinges? These boxes would also look great with the finger joint wooden hinges as well, I’m moving more into making my own hinges I find them a blast to make.

Nice work.

I used to heat with wood and had the hardest time loading the stove…”well, I can’t burn this, or this one…look at that figure! etc.,etc…”

Obviously that guys “burn” standards and mine are way different….lol Nice box Monte.

Good going !!!! The only wood I use is recycled, downed wood (old age or storm) and Sequoia wood that was cut in the late 40’s ,early 50’s and left as unuseable. My LT 40 woodmizer, a 48” alaskan mill and lots of work turn “scrap” into really nice stuff !!!

Keep up the good work and imagination.

Burn pile…. INDEED!

Can I get a HARRRUMPH!? :-)

Nice looking boxes there Monte….

You have delivered justice unto this lumber. Well done!

I like both of them but that oak is really special. Not sure I have seen that species before unless it is blackjack. Was it REALLY hard and heavy for oak?

Not sure what species. Just had been laying in the field for a couple years.
