I should have added...The white oak board that I made two basket from, the lady that I got the wood from said her husband had been a woodworker and he died. She said the wood was free. I told her when a woodworker hear that lumber is free it will disappear quicker that a pizza at a Weight Watcher Convention. I also got some mahogany, cherry and other woods.
August 2021 boxes and baskets
I made my son a box in 1998. Recently he gave it back in pieces. He said he dropped it and all the glue joints failed. So I cleaned and repaired it. I shaved a tiny bit off of the glue joints before glueing. Don't know what I used for glue originally, but this time I used Titebond II and left it clamped for 24-hours.
My granddaughter wanted a couple boxes for a wedding so I made two out of Ziricote. While I was at it I made a basket out of the same wood.
A lady gave me a white oak board that I was able to make two baskets.
In the past two weeks I made 4-baskets and 10 boxes.
Some of this is already gone and the rest will be gone by tomorrow to charity.
