Old Timey Walnut Toolbox
« on: December 13, 2014, 06:35:17 AM »
Here's a project that I choose to take on for the Holiday season.  I've always wanted to try hand cutting dovetail joints, and I found out it's a total kick in the butt!  Of course I could have made a better choice in wood for my first try.  This is almost 7/8 in thick walnut.  There is plenty of gap to these joints although it doesn't really show up in the picture.  The tool box is for my father in law who is a home builder and has just about everything under the sun, but nothing like this.  There is also a sour kraut smasher I turned for my mother in law, it's made from walnut, cherry, and maple.  

Click on the picture to enlarge, thanks for looking.
