The missus made me promise to make her a box for her sparkly things.
This is what I came up with. Saw cut veneers on the lid and base that were left over from our coffee table, and the rest was left over from something I canāt even remember making over the last year.
Hinges from Ian Hawthorne. Finish is Walrus Oil, Butter and Wax.

Looks lovely. You do realise that for the next birthday, anniversary, Xmas etc sheāll expect you to buy enough large sparkly things to fill it ........
Then you can make a strongroom to store it in for security
Lovely. We've found that it can take a couple of years for the bats to move in, depending on type and the siting of the roost.Couple of quick bat boxes. Design is from the RSPB site, but I have seen better designs. It will be interesting to see if anything moves in.

That is really nice.A bench I have just finished for my daughter and son-in-law. They are both keen skiers and were interested in having a bench made out of an old snowboard and two skis which they no longer use. Came across this design on the web, although there were no plans for it, only photos. So had to guess appropriate dimensions. Its all made out of reclaimed wood I had. A mixture of scots pine (I think) and an old fence post, dimensioned as usual with my planer thicknesserView attachment 99407View attachment 99408. Finished in danish oil - 4 coats. Its all held together with M8 bolts for the leg structures and with M8 coach bolts to join the lengthwise members - one of which supports the snowboard. Its surprisingly comfortable!
Quite pleased with the look. They haven't seen it yet due to Covid - they are in Tier 4. So it will be a New Year pressie sometime!
They have had to cancel their skiing holidays through the year, so they are hoping that by next winter they might be skiing! View attachment 99409View attachment 99410View attachment 99411

Had a go at a stool this week.
It was to be a basic item but then I thought I would have a go at wedged tenons not sure they are the right joint? but a stool in small project book by fine woodworking used them.
Cheers James
