Another project looming

[devonwoody]

Spent yesterday morning sorting out some more wood to work with.

I had a design in mind but what was laying around on the saw top did not inspire so I planed up two faces of each piece in picture below and then will thickness later. Maple, sapelle and oak.

A piece of ABW awaiting the cutting shop.



Running the timber stock out after 14 years of retirement and trying to avoid stocking up again..

Sorry about the delay posting follow up re this thread, (been painting garage doors etc.)

The oak was used again to complete another tissue box, oak, lacewood, and sapelle.

Things have slowed up for me the past 12 months a picture of the last items completed so far.

All awaiting a polish.

Very nice John. Are the flaps on the underside hinged to allow access for the tissue box?

No Bob, they are alway fitted as sliders, the track has a clear space where the sliders can drop out or put in.

Thanks for looking

i am sat looking at one of your tissue boxes right now, John. I am sure that many other members have also seen one in person this morning!
