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…

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.

I love contrasting woods just dose it form me.2 February 2014 at 3:26 am #27024Very nice, the contrast is a great feature. I like the divider inside. Well done with the arch.

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).
