So I was out walking a few months ago and I found this wooden table leg at a local flytipping spot, which I thought was Oak but turned out to be beech. Took it home and dried it out and I made the following things from it.
The leg in its original state and where it was dumped.
Two poppy trinket boxes
Oversized Cotton Reel Box
Oversized Poppy Seed Head Cane Toppers
This tiny trinket box was made out of the tiny bit I had as an offcut. I had a circluar brass hinge and a magnifying glass which fitted very nicely as a lid. I painted a bluebird design on the lid.
Btw if anyone has or knows where I can get anymore of these hinges please let me know. These came with my lathe and am keen to get a few more.
