Project Information
My buddy Kenny left me some railroad dunnage after I helped him with his retirement box project so I just had to cut into it and see what I found! I also had been wanting to try Von Hagan's raised panels on the tablesaw so this box happened. Dimensions:14×8 x 3 5/8". Walnut splines. Ipe' handle. Shipwright style wooden hinge. Finished with rubbed on shellac. The sides are glued up bookmatched quarter sawn dunnage with the grain wrapped around all 4 corners (a first for me). I tried to grain match the hinge as well. Another fun build until I got to the hinge (six hours later it decided to be a good hinge!)
