Building a Maple Box then a Special Trick to Make It POP!

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ก.ย. 2021
  • I made an heirloom quality wood box and it was kind of stupid easy to build! I broke it down into a series of small steps. It starts with the basic concept of a box. Add a few curves to give it a graceful appearance. Contrasting legs really give it something extra and make the wood in the body of the box stand out. The lid looks pretty fancy, but it’s really only a few cuts, and it really brings the whole box to life. But the real kicker is the wood grain in the maple. I made the grain really pop by dying it before applying finish. It’s a super cool technique that I highly recommend you try out.

    Like the handle a lot. I feel like it helps break the maple lid up some. I'm getting back into woodworking after finding so many ideas on YT. Just picked me up a bandsaw and pieces of an oak tree that was cut down.

    Came out awesome! I’m new to the page, but one aspect that I hope some people notice is that you have a few solid hand planes, and that’s it (and I feel is all you need). There are lots of pages that have a ton of planes, when there are only some core tools that you need to get rolling. Love it all!

    Perfect!!! I’m makin’ 6 of ‘em. That dye trick is what has been separating my “nice” finished projects from the spectacular ones in the plan photos. I have always loved the Asian esthetic, and this box, with the curved side bottoms, those leg shapes and then the handle honors it so well. The handle is the cherry on top of the sundae. Am I gushing? Yeah…so???

  • @royradlauer5635
    @royradlauer5635 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I like your idea on the box. I dislike sanding, so I would apply the die on the maple, cut to size than sand, this would allow for selecting the nice grain. Sanding all parts before assembly is, to me, a lot easier.

    Yeah ... like the design ... the contrast in woods is nice. I'll try maple and walnut. BTW, yeah , I got my maple stock by salvaging a very large maple tree (over two-foot diam base diameter) downed in a storm on a friend's land. Have a huge stock now .... and more than enough to make your box. Thanks for the idea.

    • @NewtonMakes
      @NewtonMakes  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's the thing. I was worried about the balance if I didn't have one. It was good without a handle, but it does give it that little bit extra.
