Tissue boxes made since April 2010

Around 20 different tissue boxes made this year.

Usually commence around April each year, its too cold in my workshop during the winter.

Do you have alot of colds ? (sorry only kidding) :lollol:

They are great, especially like the little hut (log cabin) one

 

Well done, those all look great!

 

Very nice, but when I saw the topic title I thought it was someone's "specialised subject" in "Mastermind!"

 

They look lovely and very different. When I saw the title I thought they were going to be something akin to loo roll dollies! Thank goodness...........they are NOT!

 

They are lovely, especially the little log cabin, it is so neat! :gnthb:

What kind of wood do you use and how long does it take to make one?

 

They have only been made using many different hardwoods, the light colours are either Maple or Ash and sycamore.

The dark colours are many, Black walnut, sapele, purpleheart, wenge, meranti, the log cabin was oak and iroko.

They usually take about three days from getting hold of a piece of timber from my store and the finished box, short sessions in mornings and afternoons. These are made during the summer months, too cold and damp in my workshop during the rest of the year.

 

These are great 'Devongardener' I wish I had the talent to even tackle making such super boxes.

 

Smashing stuff,

Do you use Yandles timber merchants for supplies ? They are at Martock, just down the road from me & 5 mins off the A303

 

Yes, the purple heart & black walnut came from that source. Are you a woodwork hobbyist?

 

No, but i've been thinking about it. Have carved a few spoons & mushroom sculptures.
