Not Exactly Fine Furniture....

[Splinter]

but I was able to put some salvaged Red Oak to use. This is a ATV Tool Box I made for my son's ATV. He uses his ATV in the woods to go deer hunting, etc. and always carries tools with him (chain saw, etc.). He got the wood from the military base where he works. A contractor was replacing the furniture in the barracks and was disposing of the old (headed for a land field). It is beautiful red oak but has dados in some place where the shelves were. I was able to get enough to make a decent tool box.

Looks good to me! Are the corners mitered?

It is 14"w x 34"L x 12"H. I use exterior Spar Urethane. I didn't remove the old finish. I scuffed it a little with sandpaper and applied the new finish. We'll see if it holds up.

Looks good to me, and I would count it as furniture.

That's about the nicest ATV box I've ever seen and it looks functional too! Let's face it, rugged functionality counts most...the good looks is just a bonus.

Nice box. :icon_thum

I like it. It has nice clean lines. It looks solid. Well done! I would put it in my living room no problem.
