Stained oak?

I'm no expert by a long shot, but I'm guessing Hickory.

Looks great. Are you not worried about the door sagging and going out of square without diagonal support?

Oh I see... I've routed a little shallow U shape groove to the side of the board (before gluing the tray), and used 2 part epoxy to glue the ends if the strap in. The goal was to have it strongly fixed in place, and also flush, so it wouldn't interfere with the lining.

Thanks, I did the box, and lining of it in general. My missus sorted the ring holder itself - foam sheet cut to strips, bent around in half (along the long side) and held together by double sided tape. And then wrapped in the lining material. I wasn't there watching her do it, so I don't know...

@custard Thanks for your tutorial 'how to line box'. Hope you approve ;)

Just finished few projects, as we travel to meet our family. We are loaded with gifts... Lots of firts-time things here. Never done a cutting board, or bor, or lining. Pretty happy with how it turned out. Hopefully these will get appreciated.

Human body carries a natural eletrical current, which gets detected on saw blade contact, and pyrotechnic charge fires a block of aluminium into the blade to stop it, and the kinetic energy absorbed also makes the blade retract. When cutting wet wood, you can temporarily disable this function to...

If you not happy with it, try returning it, get a dewalt instead. I'm using the DWE7485 - it can do precise cuts if calibrated. The only thing I would welcome is bigger saw blade diameter (210mm). So perhaps the DWE7492 (250mm) would be a good choice. If you care for your fingers, then Festool...

Yeah, I'm using Odies on almost everything. Love it, easiest product to apply, and though the jar is small, and expensive for the volume, you don't really use much of it on application. Simpy rub on with scotch bride and leave for 30 minutes. Dry it up with towel, job done. I'm now slowly...

If you fancy treating yourself to a great sander, get the new electric 3M sander with their extract discs. You will thank me later. https://www.u-pro.co.uk/products/3m-xtract-electric-random-orbital-sander-150mm...

Glad the Osmo got used. Looks great!

Also my first set of coasters, would choose other wood species next time, but overall good learning experience.

My first cutting board, also first coat of tung oil. Quite pleased so far. Hope mother in law will appreciate this gift.

Many thanks for the tips. Finished reading the Custard's manual, and it seems very clear now, how to go about it. The only thing I'm still unsure, what card is he suggesting to use? Is it some kind of paper? Thin plastic? Thanks

Love the box. What glue do you use for the leather? PVA? Glued it before or after the the box has been glued? Where id you buy the harware from? Thanks for all the answers I may or may not get :)

£20 will do just fine

Finishes for sale (Osmo, Lindseed, Tungoil) Bought them as I am still fairly new to the craft, tried a little, and I don't think I will be using them. So best if someone can use them instead. I'm now using Odies oil for everything, really. I'm living near Daventry. DM me with offers - I don't...

The first walnut one was not even at all. Learning and all that. I used a compas and tried to create and equadistant triangle where needed, directly on the die. Given there is 20 faces, it was 20 occassions to create a mistake, and it showed. The second walnut one was much better. As seen on...

Very nice
