Well, there will be boxes after this one so I have started this as I will be making a few over the next week.

So to start off a box in laburnum finished with sander sealer and woodwax22. I would have made two but I stopped to cook my good lady a meal for a change.

I am also adding here a photo of the two from yesterday alongside today's as well as a picture of them with the lids off.

Thank you, guys.

Another box which was not on the to-do list as I have prepared blanks for the boxes but yesterday we were meant to have a professional demonstrater at the club who did not turn up(at this time reason unknown).
I ended up demonstrating all afternoon and this was one from the demonstration I did.


I have demonstrated before at the club but at least had time to prepare this was done with nothing prepared and the offset jig I had only brought 2 weeks before talk about taking a big risk but everything went as well as it could except that Ash is not the best wood to spray black into end grain as can be seen.
