Spalted Birch Box

Here's a box I made as a gift out of some spalted birch I milled up with my band mill about a year and a half ago... (Been air drying since then.) The birch for the box is made from one board. The corners are mitred to make the spalting lines wrap around the box as much as possible. The walnut for the drawer fronts I had to purchase... :(

nice dresser,

but I REALLY like the old Dodges.

Thanks, should have put the dimensions in the original... It's only 16 inches wide by 10 inches high/deep. So not quite a dresser, more like a really deep spice box of sorts.

The older Dodges are nice. I don't get as much time to play with them as I used to, but I still like tinkering when I can...
 
Here are a few pictures of a four poster bed I completed a few years ago. This is all spalted maple that I milled up. All the components are bookmatched in some order, so the bottom rails are bookmatched and the top rails are out of the same piece of wood, same with the uprights. The headboard and footboard are separate pieces that connect with the rails via Lap joints. (When assembled it’s a very tight fit, with no flopping about).The finish is varathane natural oil .

Couple of projects from this year......

First is a 38" Cedar Pub table with Ash longhorn inlay and slab skull accents on the feet of the table.

Second is a 7'x4' Catalpa slab sign I was commissioned to carve for some local residents at our lake. I actually ended up doing two of these one for each entrance to the lake!

Another commissioned carving on a catalpa slab of the marine corps emblem!!!

Nothin' like opening a jar of Sunshine when the snow is flying.
 
Yeah and there is nothing like the flavor of homegrown tomatoes that don't taste like the cardboard that they are packaged in! Great looking storage shelves too!
 
Mrs put up around 100 quarts this year. Our shelves are just old barn siding, not nearly as fancy as live-edged. ;o)
