    Felt I needed to get my eye in before attempting all the dovetails on the tool chest, so started making a pencil box for a gift. A combination of oak and pine should highlight the joinery – hmm, no pressure.

    I’ll post the end result, however it turns out…

    Coming along ok now. With practice I’ll hopefully get a bit quicker, but for now I’m just enjoying the process.

    I got round to taking some pictures of the pencil box I finished a couple of weeks back. A couple of coats of Danish oil and furniture wax brought out the grain and the contrast between the pine and the oak.

    Very nice, the contrast is a great feature. I like the divider inside. Well done with the arch.

    Great looking pencil box, Martin. I like the arched divider inside. That could be useful in a variety of box configurations.

    i'd prefer to make it myself

    Very neat looking box!

    Great contrast with the wood selection and the dovetails look superb.

    These boxes are really a great project 🙂

    Thanks for the kind comments. The contrasting woods certainly highlight the joinery and make the more expensive hardwoods go further. 😉 Probably something to be used in moderation though, as it could overshadow other features of the design if over-done.

    The divider for the pencil sharpener and eraser is just a housing dado on each end and a shallow arch cut the same way as Paul did on the coffee table project (saw cuts and chisel bevel-down).
