Spring C&T 2009 Firewood Box

This is made from a piece of unknown branch I dug out of a 30yr old firewood pile in an old store house. It is finished with sanding sealer and wax. The wood was very dry and tear out was a problem but I learned to cut at high speed (eventually).

Like the shape. You never know what to expect when you give a rough outline of what you want.

Thank you guys, you have given me a real confidence boost. I have really enjoyed this challenge because it pushed me hard but all the grief and frustration was worth it to have such kind comments made by you because I respect you all very much.
Again, thank you,
Brendan
