trying to post a pic of a jewlery box I made . . .
here they are ???? the pics I mean !
Very, very sharp, Mark! Wonderful wood selection but, details...We NEED details, Mark. ie, size? finish? etc... Thanks for the post. Beautiful! :cool:
There they go! Those CA boys raising the bar again.;)
Real nice Mark.
Is it the warm weather, first name Mark, or the coastal breezes?
Don't even think for a minute that I am in the class of that other MARK on this forum. His work is way above mine !!!
The box is from a book, that is down in the shop right now and I'm too lazy to go find out the name.
Size is about 13 x 9
Finish, Watco Danish and Wax
Wood is some nice walnut and maple from 'REPRISE HARDWOODS'
This is a small 2 man company in So. Cal that goes up to Oregon and saves wood from the chipper. I bought it at the Costa Mesa WWorking show a few months ago and hope to see those guys again at the WWorking show in Ontario, CA in a week.
The wood is fantastic and the price is very very good !
Check out their web site at 'REPRISEHARDWOODS.COM'
Thanks for the kind words
Naw...'Ya see, with the earth constantly shaking out there, it had a counter-effect and he thought it was really a straight-grained wood. It's totally by accident that it turned out that way... :D Yeah...Right. :cool:Quote:

That is great work. Thanks for also posting the detains. The wood figure of each type complements the other very well. Good job selecting!
Well done,
Ted
Very nice work! Good details!!! Shows care and patience.
Mark, that's a great looking piece. The use of figured walnut is a real nice choice with the maple. Thanks for sharing.
