As you stroke it, it seems so silky yet you know the hardness underneath

LOL oh hahaha

I am going to be cutting old wood lathe tonight
making "kindling wood" from old scrap wood.


Instead of throwing it outside in the trash there are a couple people at work that heat with wood,
and I asked if they can use some scrap wood to start their fires. 🙂

Don't hate me, but I see a bit of tear out on the dovetails left hand side, maybe a chunk o wood in back of the board would have helped minimize the tear out.

That being said, It's much better than I've done or could do @ this point, strong work. Where do the timer & explosives go?

Hehe, jack in the box maybe?

There are a couple places where I chipped the wood with a chisel cleaning things up. It isn't perfect, but I can live with that.


The case is cherry, and the top is a curly maple insert.

It's finished with danish oil, wetsanded at 320 grit. I'll wetsand again at 400, then 600 grit.

This is where I am undecided. Danish oil is a wonderful finish, but isn't hard. I could shellac it, use a wipe on poly, or if I sand it well enough lacquer. On the last I am not sure. I want it to stick to the finish not peel off.
