Recycle oak to gifts

[dancam]

Some gifts I just made. I had some 3x3x15 laminated white oak blanks that I re-sawed and edge glued to 1/2" lumber and did the same with some purple heart flooring. Used the oak for the box sides and bottom and the purple heart for the sliding lid. Finish is 2 coats of Medium Walnut Watco.

PS... not sure what's going on w/photo uploads. They were right side up when I uploaded but when inserted into the thread they are upside down. If someone can fix I would appreciate it.

They look great, like the color differences and the miter keys.

Nicely repurposed Dan. Are these also BYOW (bring your own wine) or will you add a craftsman's touch inside to finish?

Each box was also supplied with a bottle of Bordeaux.

Nicely done, with deep pockets as well. Kudos!

Equally fitting craftsmanship to match the insides and out.
