A box from three nice pieces of wood, the oak lid and holly band are from a local Cumbrian source, the walnut is the remnants of a plank I purchased many moons ago. It was finished in oil and several coats of wax. Outer dimensions are 27cm wide, 16cm deep, and 9cm high.

It took a bit longer than I anticipated but I’ve finally managed to finish the two side tables to go with the coffee table that was completed in August. I only took a photo of one, but then the other just the same

We decided we should have some side tables and a coffee table to match the Morris chair from 2015, since the chair I’ve moved workshops and house It’s taken a while to get to this stage, not having a great deal of spare time to get into the workshop but after much whittling of large oak boards, the coffee table is now finished.

Just Oak

I decided to try and make an oak box without any metal fixings, well, why not made a few mistakes along the way and there’s still some fettling to do but I’m happy with the result so far. The wood hinges were interesting to make, and I’d probably do them differently next time.
