Project Information
Shop was getting way too many pieces of scrap wood, scattered around in the shop…sorted out the worst of the mess into the burn barrel, the remains?

were sorted through, and all were resawn down a bit…at least they were close to the same thickness..

Plus a few "panels"...

Figured I could make a couple boxes out of this mess, while practizing my skills, such as they are, on joinery..
One box uses through dovetails, the other uses hand cut finger joints…
Sides weren't quite tall enough, so they are now 2 piece glue-ups
Larger box is 8" wide, with 4-1/2" sides, stands 4-1/2" tall. Other box 7-1/4" by 5", and stands 3-1/2" tall.
Hardware from Hobby Lobby. each box got 2 coats of Amber Shellac.
There is a build blog about both boxes.
Thanks for looking in!
