More Actual Woodworking

So it is that time of year and I finally got the urge to work in the
shop again. Again building boxes for Christmas gifts.

I have been sitting on a small chunk of walnut forever and decided to
resaw into veneers and book match for 3 of the box tops.

With first coat of varnish.

For the other 8 boxes I am using a short chunk of that heavily figured
white oak that I bought last year. Again I resawed into veneers out of
a 22" long piece.

With first coat of varnish.

And all of the sides/top and bottom pieces. Once the boxes are glued up
I will cut the top from the bottom.

With first coat of varnish on the inside sides. Yes I will be using
Domino's to align the corners. You can see the mortises.

Beautiful wood and great work. What bandsaw do you use for the veneers?

Wow! The oak does look like Jupiter. I decided to go with straight
clear varnish and let the natural color do it's own thing.

I remember that wood. Beautiful. It reminds me of some of the recent
Jupiter photo's but there each design was a different beautiful color.

I'd be wanting to try some proper fluorescent colors or iridescent to
match the colors with your designs like on Jupiter and call it a
Jupiter box. or 'sumpin'
