Key Box

[newt]

Something I have wanted to build for some time is a box to put our keys in. It is Euro quarter sawn oak except for the door frame for a bit of contrast. Knob turned from Waka rose wood scraps. Finish 2 coats of Danish followed by wax.

Now that looks great Pete, I like the simplicity. Shows off the oak really well.

I agree. You've given real justice to the quarter-sawn figuring, Pete.

You're getting good at those dovetails, Pete - very nice 8)

Cheers :wink:

Those dovetails put min e to shame, when you view the cabinet don't look too close. Nice box.

I like it, and assume you cut dt's by hand.

Yesterday I had to back out of a gift from the local church, an eleven foot oak pew. I was unable to make any impression on breaking open the joints to disassemble, if you Hampshire fellers had been around we could have obtained around 3 cu. foot of prime oak.

Devonwoody, shame some of us are not closer, that oak wood have been very useful, hope its not been burnt. Dt's by hand.

Hi Pete, this looks very well made with the hand cut dovetails, well done
